Leonard Cohen — Jazz Police

[Verse 1] Can you tell me why the bells are ringing? Nothing's happened in a million years I've been sitting here since Wednesday morning Wednesday morning can't believe my ears [Chorus] Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police are talking to my niece Jazz police have got their final orders Jazzer, drop your axe, it's Jazz police! [Verse 2] Jesus taken serious by the many Jesus taken joyous by a few Jazz police are paid by J. Paul Getty Jazzers paid by J. Paul Getty II [Bridge] Jazz police I hear you calling Jazz police I feel so blue Jazz police I think I'm falling I'm falling for you [Verse 3] Wild as any freedom loving racist I applaud the actions of the chief Tell me now oh beautiful and spacious Am I in trouble with the Jazz police? [Chorus] Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police are talking to my niece Jazz police have got their final orders Jazzer, drop your axe, it's Jazz police! [Verse 4] They will never understand our culture They'll never understand the Jazz police Jazz police are working for my mother Blood is thicker margarine than grease [Verse 5] Let me be somebody I admire Let me be that muscle down the street Stick another turtle on the fire Guys like me are mad for turtle meat [Bridge] Jazz police I hear you calling Jazz police I feel so blue Jazz police I think I'm falling I'm falling for you [Outro] Jazz police are looking through my folders Jazz police have got their final orders
