Jazz Police Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Jazz Police Lyrics

    Can you tell me why the bells are ringing?
    Nothing's happened in a million years
    I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning
    Wednesday morning can't believe my ears.

    Jazz police are looking through my folders
    Jazz police are talking to my niece
    Jazz police have got their final orders
    Jazzer, drop your axe, it's Jazz police!.

    Jesus taken serious by the many
    Jesus taken joyous by a few
    Jazz police are paid by J.Paul Getty
    Jazzers paid by J.Paul Getty II.

    Jazz police I hear you calling
    Jazz police I feel so blue
    Jazz police I think I'm falling,
    I'm falling for you.

    Wild as any freedom loving racist
    I applaud the actions of the chief
    Tell me now oh beautiful and spacious
    Am I in trouble with the Jazz police?.

    Jazz police are looking through my folders...

    They will never understand our culture
    They'll never understand the Jazz police
    Jazz police are working for my mother
    Blood is thicker margarine than grease.

    Let me be somebody I admire
    Let me be that muscle down the street
    Stick another turtle on the fire
    Guys like me are mad for turtle meat.

    Jazz police I hear you calling
    Jazz police I feel so blue
    Jazz police I think I'm falling,
    I'm falling for you.
