Lyrics

Police Officer

By Ian G. Clifton

You guarantee freedom by oppressing it
You protect life by killing it

Sometimes among us you hide
Seeking out those who lied
Other times you sit in an obvious ride
Asking us to prove our side

People love you, people hate you
Some people never get to talk to you
They don't have to tell you a tall tale
Threatened by fines or jail

As many fools as you do catch
No matter how strange the batch
You'll never hear these words in a slur
Thank you for my punishment, officer.
