More leverage was passed today   From the radio I heard him say   I fixed another lock on my toilet door   House to house checks will commence throughout      Looking at my prize possessions   Trying to remember which ones I own   I could be up for a week's detention   Without a line I could die in there      Another law was passed today   Cut price bullets in your hardware store   And to pass your time of stay   Life size cutouts are your target score      Throwing open the windows   And screaming down the street   Eight o'clock and all is well   Until the brand new beat   Can you smell the brand new beat      Star shaped badge that shines upon   Comes free in your bumper pack   But if it's left around too long   It'll burn right through to your back      Throwing open the windows   And screaming down the street   Eight o'clock and all is well   Until the brand new beat   Can you smell the brand new beat      Shipped direct via the isle of man   The money maker shows his face   He breeds his fear across the land   Then casts off without a trace      Eight o'clock and all is well   Until the brand new beat   You can smell the brand new beat   Can you hear the brand new beat   You can hear the brand new beat   Can you smell the brand new beat
