Tempest - Thin Blue Line Lyrics

Another night on the beat
This dark city street
It isn't what it used to be
Trained to find the criminal
This world has gotten cynical
They think the bad guy is me
Good cop, bad cop
What does it matter
If our cities are in tatters
The mob loosed and trampled
Our lives and history
How this fixes anything
Is still a mystery
This Thin Blue Line
Stands between chaos and me
Sworn to protect and serve
This isn't what we deserve
This Thin Blue Line
Defending with my badge and honor
Why do we even bother
With this Thin Blue Line
Protests are blood in the water
The media swarms
After the all mighty dollar
Calls to get rid of us
Will cause a bitterness
Separate us even farther
Under God still one nation
It is our obligation
To give our children a better life
This Thin Blue Line
Stands between chaos and me
Sworn to protect and serve
This isn't what we deserve
This Thin Blue Line
Defending with my badge and honor
Why do we even bother
With this Thin Blue Line
Why do we turn on each other
Now is the time to come together
It's so easy
To get lost in the insanity
Put down the bricks and hammers
We'll work to find the answers
Choices we make now
Will last forever
This Thin Blue Line
Stands between chaos and me
Sworn to protect and serve
This isn't what we deserve
This Thin Blue Line
Defending with my badge and honor
Why do we even bother
With this Thin Blue Line
