We are the Men and Women in Blue.
We have been where you fear to be,
We have seen what you fear to see,
Done what you fear to do.
All these things We have done for you.
We are the Men and Women you lean upon,
The Officer's you cast your scorn upon.
The Officer's you bring your troubles to,
All these things we've done for you.
The Officer you call, the Officer in Blue,
Is just a man or woman, just like you.
And through the years we've come to see
We cannot be all you ask us to be.
So take this badge, and take this gun.
Will you take it? Will Anyone?
And when you watch a person die,
When you hear a battered baby cry,
Then do you think that you can be
All these things you ask of me?
