Policeman

Everyday he wakes up

As his bare feet hit the floor

Grabs a cup of coffee

Straps his Magnum on once more

Feeds the cat he lives with

Since his wife walked out the door

In nine years he'll retire with a pension.

Everyday he suffers

'Cause he sees all kinds of pain

Sometimes feels helpless

In a world that's gone insane

Then he wins a battle

It restores his faith again

It's only human kindness he is after.

He is a Policeman, you know

All the years and nothing to show

He is a Policeman, you know.

Every night he comes home

With a sixpack all alone

Feeds the cat he lives with

He picks up the telephone

Needs to talk with someone

But the only love he's known

Was lost forever, he is a Policeman.

He is a Policeman, you know

All the years and nothing to show

He is a Policeman, you know

All the years and nothing to show
