Polizei
Helltrain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna keep on rocking all night long, having some fun, breaking some bones
Fat fucks with pay checks like 15, keep on catering like filthy crows
No wonder kids come messing all night long, having some fun, breaking some bones
[Chorus:]
Eins zwei - eins zwei - Don't mess with Polizei
Kids come messing with bricks and stones
We're armed with guns and we'll make up some holes
Where to fight if not back on the streets? Yeah - like some fucks would listen to me?
Hey - now the cops come watchin', doin' the deeds - reddening some skin
The lyrics of Helltrain's song Polizei speak of a feeling of rebellion and dissatisfaction with the current state of things, particularly the authority figures who seem to be failing at their job. The singer feels that the kids are bored and are looking for something to do, and they want to have some fun and break some bones. They see the fat cats with their big paychecks, who seem to be doing nothing to help the people, and they are angry.
The reference to "filthy crows" seems to be a metaphor for the people who are taking advantage of the system, while the kids are left to suffer. The chorus talks about the police, and how the kids shouldn't mess with them. However, the singer also wants to "hit them high", which could mean fighting back against the authority. Ultimately, the singer feels that the only place to fight is back on the streets, and they see the police as being almost as bad as the people they are supposed to be protecting.
Overall, the song seems to be about the frustration of being a young person in a society that doesn't seem to care about them. The singer is angry and wants to fight back, but they also see the futility of it all. It's a powerful message that speaks to anyone who has ever felt powerless and angry.
