I left my house last night
And I kissed my wife goodnight
I told her, "Don't you worry, I'll be back soon"
"When I come back I'll be wearing blue"
She turned the TV on
Called me up on my cell phone
She said, "I'm worried 'bout ya they got two more"
Boys in blue it's an all out war
And I don't know where it all went wrong
But it seems to me
That they can't tell the difference
Between a hero and a thief
It's a mad, mad place
It's a sad, sad world
My brothers killed in vain
Because of a news report
Don't you see the harm?
Don't you see the toll?
Millions mourning the deaths
Of these heroes

Bein' out there in the streets
Makes you wonder what you'll meet
Will it be your last?
Or will you be safe?
What do you do when it comes your way?
Never leave your home
Before you show your girls your love
So you won't regret if things go wrong
Family's first, don't forget that son
If I don't make it back
Before the morning sun
Just know I love you baby
And you were always the one
It's a mad, mad place
It's a sad, sad world
My brothers killed in vain
Because of a news report
Don't you see the harm?
Don't you see the toll?
