We are the boys in blue
We work here, and we live here too
We build your villas, we lay your roads
We wash your cars, and haul your loads
We work long hours, for miserly pay
We earn in a month what you earn in a day
We have no rights and we have no say
You shut us out and you turn us away
You say we're dirty, you say we stare
You say we're shabby, whatever we wear
You throw us out of your shopping malls
You don't want to look at us at all
But you wouldn't like it, one little bit
If we weren't around to shovel your shit
Deny it, but you know it's true
Because we are the boys in blue
