Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard you swearing
I'm putting you away
No
Here they come down the street
You know they think they're pretty neat
Then they begin to beat people within our crowd
They're the
Taskforce taskforce
How we love you
Taskforce taskforce
The sirens above you
Taskforce taskforce
Think you're tops
Taskforce taskforce
You're undercover cops
We're having fun people are swearing
You and your handcuffs you're arresting
You put our friends away on the night,
but hey mister taskforce that's alright
Taskforce taskforce
How we love you
Taskforce taskforce
The sirens above you
Taskforce taskforce
Think you're tops
Taskforce taskforce
You're undercover cops
Think you're tough
You're Not
Taskforce taskforce
How we love you
Taskforce taskforce
The sirens above you

In Razar's song Task Force, the lyrics describe a group of teens being confronted and harassed by an authority figure, who threatens to arrest them for swearing. As the group continues to play their music, they are interrupted by the arrival of a task force that stops their performance because they believe it's too loud. The members of the task force proceed to assault the people in the crowd, and the song expresses the frustration and anger towards the police, who are portrayed as abusive and overreaching.
The lyrics reflect the punk movement's anti-establishment ethos and critique of authoritarianism. The song highlights the tensions between youth culture and law enforcement and condemns what the band perceives as unjust treatment of young people. Furthermore, the song speaks to a larger sociopolitical context of police brutality and corruption and the need for individuals to resist oppressive structures.
The lyrics of Task Force convey a powerful message while also being quite catchy, and the song remains relevant today, reflecting ongoing debates about police brutality, freedom of speech, and the role of authority in society.

Thank you ! , I would love to get in contact with him to ask about unreleased Razar video/audio. My friends own a punk record co. / shop so maybe they can work something out. Razor has been a top favorite of mine for years.

I took this single with me on a tour of New Zealand where I met Chris Knox and Toy Love. I got it played at a few discos over there just to stick it up 'em! (The other side was "Stamp out disco") Fun times!

Toy love has some fun songs. I like Frogs 🐸
