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.
