Stand tall brave warrior clad neatly in uniform
          Authority granted by those said to conform

Charged to protect and serve with neutrality
          Both offender and foe call your work a "brutality"

Handcuffed by the very laws you swore to uphold
          Offenders, no rules; stories of capture untold

Hypocrites may taunt you; some call you a "pig".
          Pay them no attention, their own holes they will dig

Armchair referees, they claim to be your brother
          Their remote in one hand and a stone in the other

Stand tall brave warrior; don’t let your guard down
          Battle on for the good, the last one in your town
