Strict But Fair

Verse 1

Walking heavy down the avenue

Tight slacks

Shiny plastic badge hanging from a chain

He is big and mean but never hits below the waist

Pre-Chorus

Watch out now

Step aside

He’s coming through the middle

Chorus

Strict but fair

Doing what he can

Strict but fair

Law is in his hand

He won't take a bribe for your lucky ride

Strict but fair

That’s my main man

Verse 2

Found a joker in a garbage bin

Looking slim

Looking for a fight or a quick delight

Officer told him to zip it up or ship it out

Pre-Chorus

Watch out now

Step aside

He’s coming through the middle

Chorus

Strict but fair

Doing what he can

Strict but fair

Law is in his hand

He won't take a bribe for your lucky ride

Strict but fair

That’s my main man

Bridge

Maybe he pulls the cuffs too tight

Maybe he turns the brightest light

Maybe he stays out late tonight

But he knows the rules

He follows the rules

He breaks the fools

Chorus

Strict but fair

Doing what he can

Strict but fair

Law is in his hand

He won't take a bribe for your lucky ride

Strict but fair

That’s my main man
