Protect And Serve
Widowmaker Lyrics
Don't tell us your story
Don't tell us you tried
You swore to uphold it
You swore and you lied
You let down the people
You let down the law
Your sisters, your brothers
You turned on us all
The pride of the city
Of duty and honor
You don't have a clue
Don't tell us you're human
That truth is quite clear
We've lost our faith in you
We know who to blame
Protect and serve
Protect and serve
With every discretion
You're losing out trust
Your image is tarnished
Your badge's in the dust
The shame of your family
The shame of the force
Your selfish indulgence
You felt no remorse
Pray for our protectors
May God keep them strong
Their purpose is noble
Protect us from wrong
Remember that honor and duty are one
There's more to a cop
Than a badge and a gun
Protect and serve
Protect and serve
Protect and serve
Protect and serve

The band was formed by former Mott the Hoople and Spooky Tooth guitarist Luther Grosvenor, also known as Ariel Bender. The original line-up featured vocalist Steve Ellis from Love Affair, guitarist Huw Lloyd-Langton from Hawkwind, Australian bassist Bob Daisley of Chicken Shack and drummer Paul Nicholls who had played with Lindisfarne.
A few months after they had begun rehearsing at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's Manticore Studios in London the quintet were signed to Jet Records owned by Don Arden. A single release "On the Road" followed, in February 1976 and their debut album Widowmaker was released in the same year. The line-up for the "Widowmaker" album was augmented in the studio by vocalist and guitarist Bobby Tench from Streetwalkers and hammond player Zoot Money. Widowmaker reached #196 in US and featured an eclectic mix of blues, country, folk and hard rock.
Widowmaker toured the UK with Nazareth and in June 1976 they took part in a series of nationwide stadium all-day concerts under the name of The Who Put The Boot In alongside leading rock acts such as, Little Feat, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Streetwalkers and The Who, who were the headline act.
Ellis left the band after a tour of North America with Electric Light Orchestra and was replaced by vocalist John Butler and the band recorded their second album Too Late to Cry. Daisley joined Rainbow and Widowmaker broke up only months after the release of Too Late to Cry (1977).
The second one was an American heavy metal band founded by singer Dee Snider (formerly of Twisted Sister), joined by ex-TS drummer Joe Franco, guitarist Al Pitrelli and bass player Marc Russell. The band released 2 albums, Blood and Bullets (1992) and Stand By for Pain (1994).
