lyrics

Officer Down
words and music by Eric Arndt

Officer down, officer down
We’re on broadway, and we need help now
We need help right now, officer down

Roy was a gentle giant, who clicked on the line
He had an entry wound in his neck, just missed the spine
He thought his training officer was already dead
Blood pooled on the grey upholstery, flowing from his head

Officer down, officer down
We’re on broadway, and we need help now
We need help right now, officer down

The friday before Christmas, Roy’s twelveth day on the force
Abe was driving the white squad car, staying on the course
Three miles away in Signal Hill, a man was up to no good
Abe took the call and turned around, Roy understood

They had probable cause to pull him over
Instead of a routine stop they ducked for cover
Shots fired, shots fired

Officer down, officer down
We’re on broadway, and we need help now
We need help right now, officer down
