Sometime I think my co-worker is crazy The way Christine go on jokey,jokey The next time, a no nonsense stance The way she wind up the place last Christmas dance The way she love to talk about conspiracy Me and Christine in the canteen a talk About the death of Black people in custody How not a cat meow or a damn dog bark How nobody high up in society can offer an explanation nor remedy When Christine knit up her brow, like say a row Screw up her face, like say a trace Hear her now. You think its just the M15 and James Bond? And some police and soldier over in North Ireland one? When it come to Black people, Winston, some police in England got a license to kill. Well nothing Christine say surprise me still but hear me now What do you mean, Christine? Who told you that? You must think Im an idiot You cant prove that Who told me you were gonna say that. Christine kiss her teeth and cut me with her eye And she say you want proof? You cant ask Clinton McCurbin about his asphyxiation And you cant ask Joy Garnder about her suffocation You cant ask Colin Roach if he really shot himself And you cant ask Vincent Graham if he really stabbed himself But you can ask the commissioner about the license to kill Ask Paul Condon about the license to kill You cant ask the Douglas about the new style baton And you cant ask Tunay Hassan about the death by neglect You cant ask Marlon Downes if he has any regret And you cant ask El-Gammal about the mystery of his death But you can ask Dame Barbara about the license to kill Ask the DPP about the license to kill You cant ask Ibrahim about the CS gas attack And you cant ask Mrs.Jarrett how she got her heart attack You cant ask Oliver Price about the grip around his neck And you cant ask Steve Boyce about his death by neglect But you can ask the PCA about the license to kill Ask the ACPO about the license to kill Ask Margaret Thatcher about the license to kill Ask John Major about the license to kill Ask Michael Howard about the license to kill Ask Jack Straw about the rule of law Ask Tony Blair if he is aware or care About the the license to kill that plenty police feel they got -License to Kill by Linton Kwesi Johnson
