Lyrics:

Thirty years of walking a beat down and dirty from all that he's seen
protect and serve then turn in your gun now your serving days are done.

There goes the peacemaker
there goes a live wire
there goes the peacemaker
an ex-policeman and a friend of mine

His whole life was never bringing it home
dealt with murder and fear on his own
worked out of love and worked out of rage
getting shot at for minimum wage

There goes the peacemaker
there goes a live wire
there goes the peacemaker
an ex-policeman and a friend of mine

He clings to his wife and kids revolver to reviver
He's always teaching them that love creates surviviors

He and his girl are seeing the world just like it's always meant to be done. He sees her and she sees him, all the rest is decoration

There goes the peacemaker
there goes a live wire
there goes the peacemaker
an ex-policeman and a friend of mine.
An ex-policeman and a friend of mine
An ex-policeman and a friend of mine

There goes the peacemaker
there goes a live wire
there goes the peacemaker
an ex-policeman and a friend of mine.
An ex-policeman and a friend of mine
An ex-policeman and a friend of mine
