DJUSS PULICIA (Jos the Cop)

Jose the cop, out of uniform,
is a citizen of Bande:
Good morning!
Good Afternoon!

But when Jose the cop
puts on his helmet
hes fierce, and intoxicated

Oh, help

His eyes red,
There he is
Oh Kankuran on the corner,
In Barela-Kunda
Lord of citizens and countrymen

But Joses like me
when he grabs some plain rice
to fill his belly
--If there is any

And when we gather at night
to drum and sing
Joses a countryman
a citizen like me

Dont take it out on me
dont sharpen your claws
Im not a rat
for you to be a cat,
comrade policeman
If you scratch me
my deep, red hungry blood
The hard hand will seek rest
one morning

I cant complain.
When youre a civilian your friendship is true
And so is so-and-so

Oh the things Ive seen
Oh the things Ive heard
Oh the things Ive felt
I cant complain
I dont dare
