-verse 1-
i pushed my bike home in the hot summer morning, sweat dripping off of my face, yeah i ran out of fuel and i had a gas can sitting back at my place
well here come ol smokey his billy club poked me he said boy what's going on. said i've been pushing for miles see and i probably ain't gonna make it up this here hill alone... that's too bad
-chorus 1-
well harass and arrest is the new P&S, protect and serve is done. he said i can't get ya for anything today boy so i gotta run
-verse 2-
well i never met a man who never needed a hand, certainly not myself. and when the shit hits the pavement i've never hesitated to give mine to somebody else.
so watch out smokey joe cause you never know when you might be humming the blues. on the side of the road needing a tow wearing holes in the soles of your shoes.
-chorus 2-
yeah harass and arrest is the new P&S, uncle sam has been keeping score. yeah all them boys got quotas to fill they ain't got time for you and me no more.
-chorus 3-
yeah harass and arrest is the new P&S, protect and serve is done. now they sit in their cars outside of the bars and they mess with the drunks for fun.
