"Just doing our job"

Yes, ma'am, we know

Your son's in the middle of the road

Laying in a pool of his blood

But we're still gonna drag him through the mud.

You see, he attacked me

And tried to take my gun

But realize I'm no bully

And killing isn't fun.

If he hadn't threatened my safety

(And his skin had been more pasty)

-- No, I was definately in danger!

From this young, unarmed stranger.

Even my captain will say...

He'll tell the whole mob!

"Like any other day,

He was just doing his job."
