Poem
Catch a career criminal, get them to confess Pin a few extra crimes on them, put some old cold cases to rest Let your pet CI help you to collar a few more Then hustle to your date at the morgue with the hot-looking, frosty coroner There's a body on a metal slab, there's a lot of blood on the floor It seems frontier justice was administered to a perp coming through a citizen's back door Just another day in the life of a big city cop Crime never takes a holiday, crime never stop Chasing those breaking bad: running the red light, cheating on their wife Gambling late at night with their life Ed liked meeting the crooks with the bad attitude, he would flash them the badge ... if they resisted, let them taste the bottom of his shoes He liked mixing it up with the thugs when they tried to flee, spraying the hot lead He liked giving street punks the hard hug, slapping the bracelets on as their rights were being read Just another day in the life of a big city cop Crime never takes a holiday, crime never stop In the line of duty, he once had to kill a man, a meth head robbing a gas-and-go store He had a death wish, wanted to go out in a blaze But before he leave, he was gonna burn a few more That was the one part of the job Ed didn't like, he'd rather bring them in alive, send them to jail Maybe they'll turn their life around, once they realize penitentiary's a living hell But sometimes when you're not given a choice, the grave becomes the final underground cell Just another day in the life of a big city cop Crime never takes a holiday, crime never stop At the end of the day, when Ed takes his holster off, he gets to lay down in his bed and finally feel something soft
