So we wait in line,
With our itchy trigger fingers.
We know with all this armour on,
There’s no way they can beat us.
But if one of them makes one remark,
Or gives me an awkward eye.
That’s when I’m gonna show ‘em how I use a baton,
Give him one in the back that he’ll never get up from.
Back to the station for a pat on the back,
“Well done officers, you stopped a terrorist attack.
Any minute then they could’ve traded their placards for rifles and grenades,
But we nipped it in the bud.
And we’d love to use non-violent techniques if we could,
But in this line of work it’s not advised that we should.
This arsenal is purely for our own protection,
But there’s nothing more fun than cracking skulls
We take the law into our own hands, we do it our way. (we protect and serve)
We’ll stop at nothing to make sure they don’t get away. (we protect and serve)
And don’t worry, it’s just another enquiry (and we say)
It’s time for vigilante justice, because the old fashioned stuff don’t get the job done
JOB DONE
We’ve thrown the guidebook out the window, so there’s a chance... to have some fun
You’re not part of the A-team, you’re not above the law,
And as another innocent man falls before you on the floor,
Do you think to yourself,
Have I crossed the line.. of duty?
See there’s a plan and a system for a reason,
And the reason is that one man can’t make a life or death decision on his own,
It’s been shown that testosterone,
Can cloud your judgement when entering a war zone.
Suddenly your mind fills with images of movies,
The ones that you saw when you were young and naive.
You think: “I’m John McClane, I feel no pain!
Best thing to do is shoot a fella with a backpack”.
OH! Then I realise that I can see,
The difference between fiction and reality.
Catastrophe! Who’s guilty?
Because the Rep-u-tation of the badge is in jeopardy .
We’ll find ourselves a make-shift scapegoat to keep us afloat,
Blame false intelligence that was shoved down our throat.
PHEW! That’s swept under the rug,
A man is dead, and we just shrug.

Twenty years later than I would have liked, but hells yes! I stumbled upon "No manners in Ireland" yesterday, cueing the easiest binge buy in a while. This is a nice blend of skillful instrumentalism, great lead voice and good tunes. The old Toasters / Madness / Bosstones fan in me is bouncing off the ceiling again. Thank you for that. You seem to be gathering steam as well. Here's to a long run! raphaelhythlodai
