Lyrics Joanna - Sonic Boom Six

Joanna

Sound of the police.
Oi oi, big up to the underground
Another chance to dance in the sun, move out to the renegade sound
Sound system 20k, no one for miles away
But they won’t fucking let us stay, and they say go away
Here come the dibble playing piggy in the middle of nowhere
But still they come out there.
(Move out of my way.)
They’re causing problems when I recognise one of them
From my school and then he starts to say…
Oi oi, I didn’t want to be like this but sorry mate
You know that this is just the way it is
Back in school you were the first to be the front of the fight, man we got
stoned every night
You know we used to be tight but I don’t recognise
Babylon in front of me, talking about this, oh no no no
I haven’t changed in a bit…
You know those hippies want to take the piss
I kiss the scruffy fuckers on the head with this
It’s a dirty job that someone’s got to do and it comes down to me
Whoop whoop, and that’s the sound of the police
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle, said a whoop whoop
I’m drawing a line
And you’re no friend of mine
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle
No you aren’t no friend of mine
When we were little playing piggy in the middle
In the park until the sun went down.
(Back in the day.)
Now you’re on horses as your regiment enforces
All the laws at which we used to frown
You say well this is just the way it is, they’re pissed
I push them to the ground and bend their wrists
It’s the dirty job that someone’s got to do and it comes down to me
Whoop whoop, and that’s the sound of the police
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle, said a whoop whoop
I’m drawing a line
And you’re no friend of mine
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle
No you aren’t no friend of mine
So you see, Mr. Officer
How I’ve tried to see, from your point of view
But your eyes I don’t recognise
It’s not what you do, it’s what it’s done to you
You see a world, etched in black and white
You see a world, ready for a fight
No we can’t, be the same tonight
So I’ll speak my piece
So Mr. Officer no show me producer
You only talking like my friend because I knew you
For every copper to serve and protect me
There’s always one like you to fucking contest me.
No
And you should know if the push becomes a shove
I know exactly where I stand now that you’re a part of
Everything you said you’d never be
And that’s the sound of the police
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle, said a whoop whoop
I’m drawing a line
And you’re no friend of mine
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle, said a whoop whoop
So show me a sign
Where do you draw the line?
Piggy in the middle
Watch the piggy in the middle
No you aren’t no friend…
No you aren’t no friend of mine
