good cops – ExperiMental Music

This song is about the three good cops in West Chester, Pennsylvania. While doing investigative reporting for the article “Hate Crimes, Civil and Human Rights Violations at the Gay Church of West Chester”, I uncovered a multitude of bad cops; however, I found three good ones… the saving grace.

LYRICS
Put on the good face
Saving grace
Get on in good faith
Saving grace

What was thought to have been lost
Now can be found
What’s been brought at a high cost
Can now be found

Chorus

What was wrought with devil’s sin
Has been born again
Good fight fought will always win
Time and time again

Chorus

LYRICS
The heat is on the heat
The fuzz is all the buzz
Just because…
Evil’s what they was

Then shining from behind a star
White-hat is not that far

No longer a myth
Peoplesmith

(Refrain)
Serve and protect
Peoplesmith
No longer a myth
Serve and protect
No longer myth
Peoplesmith

Hmmm… I was approached by another GOOD cop today. That makes two… now, I don’t know what to do. How do you write a song about good cops? This is virgin territory for me. The working title is Peoplesmith. A “smith” is an artisan or craftsman. A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. A Peoplesmith is a craftsman that works with people.
