No Mister
No mister policeman
I don't want to go home
There's no reason
We should be going home
Except for you to say
You got it done today
I said "No, mister policeman
You can't see my ID"
There's no reason
To card me walking these streets
And no mister policeman
I don't have no job
There's no reason
For me to have a boss
Oh, dear sister, sorry
The system steals its dues
Locked inside for daring
To live your life as you
There's no room to say
They got it done today
No mister policeman
No one here dropped a dime
There's no reason
For you to waste our time
Every jail story I ever heard
Any woman ever told
Always included rape
No, mister policeman, no
This isn't how it's done today
And you're not even a cop
No mister policeman, no
No mister policeman, no
There's no reason
No, no, no
(repeat first verse)
