[Verse 1] Boots on the pavement, morning so cold Blue van creeping, all black and bold They circle the block like a hungry dog Same old faces in the fog Hands in their pockets, eyes like stone Trying to make your street their throne But we know the script, we know the game Different uniform, same old shame [Pre-Chorus] Hear that radio crackle Hear that little threat They want quiet heads They want us in debt [Chorus] Old bill never sleep We never kneel Old bill never sleep We never kneel Raise your hands? No way Stand your ground and feel Old bill never sleep We never kneel [Verse 2] Papers in the wind, boots at the door Knock knock knockin' like they own the floor Stop and search on the corner shop Same old hunger, never stops They call it order, call it law We call it fear in a badge and a jaw But every march and every shout Builds the street that shuts them out [Pre-Chorus] Hear that radio crackle Hear that little threat They want bowed-down backs They want no protest [Chorus] Old bill never sleep We never kneel Old bill never sleep We never kneel Raise your hands? No way Stand your ground and feel Old bill never sleep We never kneel [Bridge] When the night gets loud And the sirens climb We lock arms tight And we take our time You can kettle the crowd You can bark your commands But you can't unmake A thousand joined hands [Final Chorus] Old bill never sleep We never kneel Old bill never sleep We never kneel Raise your hands? No way Stand your ground and feel Old bill never sleep We never kneel Old bill never sleep We never kneel
