I am the law (original poem/lyrics)

I've walked the beat, I've said my piece,

Yet I've never had to use it, stopping the signs, talking to strangers and shaking hands, 

I am the law, oh oh I am the law,

I've pointed my fair share and yelled, to stop the assailants, I've chased on foot, 

I've locked them all up, I've driven after maniacs manically, 

I've secured the loot, I am the law, yeah yeah yeah I am the law.

I am the law, stopping criminals with ease, I am the law, 

I chase down the baddies and bring them to justice, I am the law, 

I've never used my piece, I come in peace, I am the law.

Imagine the scenes, tape everywhere, not your average Tuesday night, 

the assailant might still be in the area ready for a fight, 

I'm always ready to parry any strike, 

I am the law, oh yes indeed I am the law,

Out of the corner of my eye. A struggle my partner is taken, held hostage against us all, 

this is all new to me, stop we can help, lower the weapon and let my partner go, 

do this and you'll be free too.

I am the law, the sweat is dripping from my brow, this isn't going to end with ease, 

sir can you listen to our pleads, please, I am the law, let me help you. 

Let's help each other, I am the law no one has to get hurt,

A trigger clicks, assailant is stressed, scared, backed into a corner, 

this is it, now or never, my hand slowly goes for my piece as I keep the killer talking, 

listen to his demands, make him seem as if I can arrange all he wants, partner is gawping at me,

I am the law, I yell and aim my gun, I am the law, no more chances you've had your fill, 

I am the law I breathe in and pull, I am the law, the bullet flies through mid air. 

I am the law, my God I've killed him, I am the law,

I was sentenced to jail, I am the law, this is a disillusion of grandeur, 

I am the law..........
