I used to listen to that as a kid. I agree about P Gabriel but back then I used to like Genesis and had no clue. The song is "Biko" about a black kid badly roughed up and killed by the cops in 1977 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. I'm not going all BLM about this but I used to visit there and the cops were hardcore out of control scumbags. Them lyrics the real deal and kudos for remembering and posting.
Sadly there are enough scumbags to go around on any side of any issue. I am generally a "back the blue" but there are definitely some scumbags in blue.
