Ooh, Mr. Sunglasses
Shows up on the scene to hunt for their asses
Keeps those shades on so he can hide his true intent
The true product of a youth misspent
Rolls up to the side of the road
Slides himself into ass kicking mode
Secretly hoping for another round of yes, sir, and thank you
Anything else leads to miles of paperwork to do
It's a look he's fashioned over a career that spanned two decades
He's the hero and then the villain as his career fades
Mr. Asskicker is the unwanted but necessary evil of the past
For they forgot to tell him in the academy, this really won't last
It's all fun and games until, from some faraway place, the cameras rolled
Then they cram all the changes down his throat like strained peas to the old
But what fun it was to clean up those same old streets
Just to get home and catch the wife with someone else between the sheets
The donuts catch up to even the deadliest of heroes
And that heart attack takes a friend or two when their bp hits zeroes
Lower back pain from the twenty pounds of gear
The new chiefs are constantly on the radio, or worse, in your rear
Change this and change that they continue to say
Just to keep track of all that change, they ought to raise his damn pay
It wasn't much to begin with, which was why half of them were on the take
Cops became crooks just so they could enjoy a little steak
Presidents said they supported the blue
But only the hated ones really ever do
Liberal laws turned the job into a constant attack
The judges and dirtbag politicians kicked their hairy sacks
Clicky as it was, you'd make a few friends
But only until your time behind the badge ends
As soon as your day comes, they talked shit behind your back
Proving once and for all, half of them needed to grow a sack
And if you tried to walk straight and walk tall
An endless line waited for you to take a big fall
Laughing like little hyenas, those miserable snakes
But remember who they were, the guys with the shakes
If you came and went, spent more time with your family than cops
It's more likely than not, you were never really given your props
But in the end, it served a purpose that you can't ever regret
And all those haters can suckit, on that you can bet

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.
