Why All My Friends Wear Blue --***** rock--9.2.24

rock, blues rock, gang vocals on big chorus, soulful, male vocal

[intro four bar guitar solo]

[verse 1]
All my friends wear blue
For good reason I assure you
Because nobody understands
The pressures and stress like cops can

[verse 2]
We believed in “Protect and Serve”
The streets made us think and swerve
It seemed the people we were trying to protect
Had harsh opinions and cried out to object

[chorus]
All my friends wear blue
Might make no sense to you
But for me it’s about being understood
What it’s like to protect and serve the hood

Even when their friends get killed
They’re so staunch and strong-willed
and refuse to say two words to give us a clue
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

[verse 3]
They refused to help and give us information
When crimes happened in their hood and location
They slammed the door in our faces
Started happening in more and more places

[verse 4]
Why do they hate us when we’re trying to serve?
Through me for a loop, a maddening shocking curve
In the Academy we all had high hopes
That the job was perfect, noble and dope

[chorus]
All my friends wear blue
Might make no sense to you
But for me it’s about being understood
What it’s like to protect and serve the hood

Even when their friends get killed
They’re so staunch and strong-willed
Refuse to say two words, give us a clue
So what the fuck am I supposed to do? 
 
[bridge]
I never imagined this was how it would be
Being a crybaby and weakling is not me
If I’d known before the Academy 
Would have never let ‘em recruit and get at me

[chorus]
All my friends wear blue
Might make no sense to you
But for me it’s about being understood
What it’s like to protect and serve the hood

Even when their friends get killed
They’re so staunch and strong-willed
Refuse to say two words, give us a clue
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
All my friends wear blue
Might make no sense to you
But for me it’s about being understood
What it’s like to protect and serve the hood

Even when their friends get killed
They’re so staunch and strong-willed
Refuse to say two words, give us a clue
So what the fuck am I supposed to do?

[outro]

[speaking vocal only over music]
That’s why all my friends wear blue
I hope this makes a little sense to you

[end]
