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 six-pack 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 ©1977 Sacha Songs / Big Elk Music
