WE TAKE A BADGE AND WE PIN IT OVER A PERSONS HEART.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT AS A
CITIZEN WE'VE DONE OUR PART. WHILE GIVING WAGES
THAT ARE MANY TIMES TOO LOW.
WE ASK THEM TO GO PLACES THAT WE'D NEVER GO.
AND WE ASK THEM TO FACE DANGER. SUCH AS NEVER
BEFORE. WHERE A SUB MACHINE GUN
COULD BE BEHIND ANY DOOR AND PEOPLE ON DRUGS
DO THINGS WITHOUT A REASON. AND
STRANGERS DECLARE COPS TO BE AN OPEN SEASON.
WHY THEY LAY THERE LIVES ON THE LINE, I'M NOT
SURE. FOR THE JOB COMES WITH
LITTLE GLORY AND MUCH MANURE. IT MUST BE SOMETHING
IN THERE HEART REAL DEEP
DOWN, THAT WOULD MAKE THEM BE WILLING TO WALK
THAT GROUND.
WELL MISTER I WOULDN'T WANT TO WALK IN THERE SHOES.
LOOKING AT THE FEW
OFFICERS THAT DO MAKE THE NEWS. FOR THE LIBERAL
MEDIA COVERS THE ONES THAT ARE
MEAN. WHILE THOUSANDS OF GOOD ONES ARE JUST NEVER
SEEN.
AND EACH DAY WE TRY TO PLEASE THAT POLITICAL
CORE , BY MAKING NEW LAWS THAT
TIE THERE HANDS EVEN MORE. AND STILL THEY RISK
THERE LIVES, PUTTING THE SCUM
IN JAIL. KNOWING BEFORE THERE SHIFT ENDS THEY'LL
BE OUT ON BAIL.
AND TODAY SOME FAMILY MAY HAVE HEARD THERE LAST
GOODBYE FOR IN THE LINE OF
DUTY SOME MOMMY OR DADDY WILL DIE SO WHEN'S THE
LAST TIME YOU TOLD AN OFFICER
YOU CARE, AND APPRECIATE THEM RISKING THERE LIFE
OUT THERE.
WE NEED TO HIRE MORE DEPUTIES TO PUT IN THE SADDLE,
AND QUIT MAKING LEGAL
FENCES FOR THEM TO STRADDLE. AND IF WE GIVE THEM
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THAT
STAR. THEN LET'S GIVE THEM THE AUTHORITY TO GO
THAT FAR.
