Lyrics Life in the Movies (Live) (Remastered) - 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
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
