In The Name Of

beepbeep beepbeep beepbeep
scattered man scattered case scattered papers
is this why I joined the force
ran into burning buildings finding burning men
so important that he beeps as he dies
in the violent hands of a disturbed man
we don't get these instructions at the academy
a slip crumpled in his hand fingers charred
beepbeep beepbeep beepbeep
flowers to be delivered to the address
matches his ID an anniversary gift to a great wife
protect serve honor
love
foundations we stand on america the beautiful
I can't save him now but I can answer the page
in a time of tragedy I can only do my best
I'm gonna make sure everything's ok for her
I have a badge and will and strength to uphold
