Somebody killed a policeman today And a part of America died A piece of our country he swore to protect Will be buried with him at his side. The beat that he walked was a battlefield, too, Just as if he had gone off to war; Though the flag of our nation won't fly at half-mast To his name they will add a gold star. The suspect that shot him will stand up in court With counsel demanding his rights, While a young, widowed mother must work for her kids And spend many long, lonely nights. Yes, somebody killed a policeman today Maybe in your town or mine, While we slept in comfort behind our locked doors A cop put his life on the line. Now his ghost walks the beat on a dark city street, And he stands at each new rookie's side: He answered the call, of himself he gave his all And a part of America died Unknown
