#334. (I Don't Want No) Police Action

When you have this...

And then this...

You get this...


Which leads to this...

Think about it.

I checked out a few live versions of Satisfaction.  Thought about Devo and/or The Dead.  But you gotta go with the original.




(I Don’t Want No) Police Action
sonofsaf

I don’t want no action, I don’t want no police action
A pig sty is a sty is a sty is a sty
I don’t want no, I don’t want no

When I'm mindin’ my own bidnith, and this cop wants my identity YO!
He's pimpin’ out all his hos throughout this fucked up nation
Lookin’ hellish eternal damnation

I don’t want no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
I’m black and gay
I don’t want no police action, I don’t want no police action
A pig sty is a sty is a sty is a sty
I don’t want no, I don’t want no

When I’m cashin’ out for free and he cuffs me to protect me
He’s gonna take a knee
Because he has a plan, and he doesn't choke
The same way as you and me

I don’t want no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
I’m black and gay
I don’t want no police action, I don’t want no police action
A pig sty is a sty is a sty is a sty
I don’t want no, I don’t want no

I’m not tryin’ to impress the girls
I ain’t screwin' this and/or fuckin' that
And I'm prayin’ all ‘round the world, don’t be me
Maybe, shoulda known they destroy and seek
Can’t you see I’m not a total freak?
I don’t want no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
I’m black and gay, I don’t want no, I don't want no
I don’t want no police action, no police action
No police action, no police action
I don’t want no


(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction
Rolling Stones

I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information
Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say
I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no girl reaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can't get no, I can't get no

When I'm ridin' 'round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
Baby, better come back maybe next week
Can't you see I'm on a losing streak?
I can't get no, oh, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey
That's what I say, I can't get no, I can't get no
I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
No satisfaction, no satisfaction
I can't get no

9-28-05, PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA

6-20-15, Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA

7-4-15, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, IN

Gotta be honest here.  I always thought Satisfaction was a really weak opener/closer.  A vibrantly mediocre filler tune. 

Feel free to share this material with any classic rock cover bands that play Satisfaction.  In essence... all.
