Chicago — Policeman

[Verse: Robert Lamm] 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 Because 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 [Chorus: All, (Robert Lamm)] He is a Policeman, you know All the years and nothing to show (Nothing to show) He is a Policeman, you know [Verse 2: Robert Lamm] Every night, he comes home With a six-pack 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 [Chorus: All, (Robert Lamm)] He is a Policeman, you know All the years and nothing to show (Nothing to show) Nothing to show [Outro: All, Robert Lamm] He is a Policeman, you know (You know it, you know it) He is a Policeman, you know (He is, yeah) He is a Policeman, you know (You know it, know it) He is a Policeman, you know (He is, he is, yeah) He is a Policeman, you know (You know it, you know it) He is a Policeman, you know (He is, yeah) He is a Policeman, you know (You know it, know it) He is a Policeman, you know (He is, he is, yeah)
