Текст 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
