Life In The Movies Lyrics - Lucky Dube

Warning, this is the chief of police speaking 

Do not steal police hate competition 

Where we gonna run, where we gonna hide? 

You've got the right to remain silent 

But forever they were brought here to protect us 

They were brought here not to hurt 

But now they hurt us everyday 

You see, police have joined 

Forces with criminals 

Don't steal, police hate competition 

We can't sit down, something must be done 

Catching the bad guys in real life 

Is not as easy as it is in the movies 

We see James Bond 

(007) 

Eddie Murphy 

(Beverly Hills Cop) 

Chasing bad guys all the time 

But police in real life have joined 

Forces with criminals 

Don't steal, police hate competition 

We can't sit down something must be done 

Our life has got to be like 

Life in the movies 

Where the good guys always 

Win in the end 

Life in the movies 

How can we expect them 

To serve and protect the community? 

If they themselves are the bad guys 

Police have joined forces with criminals 

Stand up and fight, no one is safe 

Life in the movies 

Life in the movies 

Life in the movies 

...
