lyrics (anything without *riff* above it is the main riff) 

You Shoulda Seen That Sucker, Man 
And It Went Like This: 
He Fired a Round or Two 
And Then I Got Pissed 

*riff 2* 
My Brother, What Was it Like? 
How Did it Feel to Take His Life? 

I Was the Star of the Show 
Here in My Hometown Rodeo 

*riff 3* 
And Down He Goes 
Like a Sack of Potatoes  
From His Head to His Toes 

I Didn't Wanna Shoot That Man 
But I Believe In What I Do 
Like Anybody Else, Man 
I Got a Job to Do 
When I Went Home to Tell My Wife 
She Sided Right and It Saved My Life 
There Was a Moment I Almost Cried  
For the Boys In Blue and it Would Love This Ride *?* 

*riff 1* 
Played the Devil's Hand 
In the Devil's Land 

Dispatch Call On the Radio 
It Was My Number, I Was Ready to Go 

*riff 2* 
And I Made the Grade 
Behind the Barricade 
I'll Never Be the Same 

*Chorus* 
God and Country 
Mission Clear 
On My Honor 
Never Fear 
Do My Duty 
Keep My Nerve 
What's the Word? 
Protect and Serve 

There Was Something Deep Inside 
I Got a Feeling it Was My Time 
'Protect and Serve' is a Thing of the Past 
I Waited My Whole Life to Pop a Cap in the Ass 

*riff 1* 
Yellow Tape Surrounding the Chalk Line 
Livin' the Dream and Lovin' the Lie 

Go Nothing to Do With Me 
It's Democracy and the FOP            ----------> (Fraternal Order of Police, just so ya know) 

*riff 2*  
Here You Say "Ain't It a Shame?" 
While You Were Playing the Game 
Did You Remember His Name? 

*Chorus* 

solo (not today, kids. just rip harmonic minor scales and bend too high) 

No Man is Above the Law 
It's Killed or Be Killed 
And That is All 

*riff 2*  
Here You Say "Ain't It a Shame?" 
While You Were Playing the Game 
Did You Remember His Name? 

*Chorus*
