The Shield Theme (Remix) Lyrics
(Just another day)
Livin' the good life
We're buying the good blocks
C'mon get happy
In the beautiful sunshine
Throwin' a peace sign
Throw your hands up
Listen homey
Nothing's gonna make you fall back
like this crazed bald cat
with a baseball bat
See my Ace all scrapped
My way or the new way
The black and blue way
the face down and all bruised way (Bang!)
The Force's fours get the illest talking
With the eyes of a hawk
Farmington's finest
with the crime and a spine
and the 9 on his waist line
Pray he on your side
or end up shook beat battered and booked
before you look up
The baddest man that ever put on a badge (shield!)
And ain't no working out deals, up on the real (man is ill!)
In his bean,
the ends justifies the means
He'll do anything in a scheme
to keep the streets clean
The Strike force never play by no rules
pullin' out tools on the right dude
and schoolin' these fools
and they'll be lucky if they even live to tell the story
he ain't a cop, he's a savior
Scratch, Roc Raida
(Just another day)
Livin' the good life
We're buying the good blocks
C'mon get happy
In the beautiful sunshine
Throwin' a peace sign
Throw your hands up
It don't matter what you come strapped with
you don't want it with this cat here
and that's a fact, bitch
They all nuts, cop jury and judge
so call him corrupt cause he can run on a hunch
man he can run amok, a human truck
His heart pump diesel
they here to clean the streets
not to treat you freaks equal
and you won't get a sequel, see
it's a wrap for you rat bastards (you Lemonheads)
you can crack if you can't hack it
the tactics are drastic
pack plastic automatics
kick ass and rock badges
Goddamn, this aint the burbs
justice needs to get served
Mackey'll churn'em on a burner
have'em singin like birds
He ain't here to make friends
He can break men who wont bend
and send'em all up to the state penn
it's a deal
you can feel that he's the real
stronger than the steel in his own shield
Little bitches
(Just another day)
Livin' the good life
We're buying the good blocks
C'mon get happy
In the beautiful sunshine
Throwin' a peace sign
Throw your hands up
Livin' the good life
We're buying the good blocks
C'mon get happy
In the beautiful sunshine
Throwin' a peace sign
Throw your hands up
Nothing's gonna make you fall back
like this crazed bald cat
with a baseball bat

Cannot believe nobody has commented on this song -- although it's more of a riff & was the perfect theme to open (and sustain) one of the best cop dramas ever made ("The Shield," which established FX as a viable and creative network).
It's so easy for this song to get stuck in your head -- but in a good way. I've been binging on the series that I hadn't seen in 15-20 years, and it still holds up!
As a Los Angeles resident, it really represents the fierce anger and part reckless and refreshing energy that underlies this uncomfortable melting pot of a major metropolis. I want to hear more of the longer form version!
