Lyrics: Policeman
Album: Chicago Xi
Artist: Chicago
 

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 sixpack 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
