Versuri Copper
If you were looking for a way to make me mad it
was a sure fire way you found
Acting like a half wit fool, laying your money
around
Well I came back here to tell you Lou, 'bout what
you almost did
Don't you ever put the cash on the counter Lou,
when I'm with my kid
Yeah the kid's thirteen he's growing Lou, two
years and he'll be bigger than me
Still he thinks I'm strong as a blacksmith and
straighter than the tall oak tree
I raised him alone ten years now since his Mama
ran away
And you ain't gonna blow his image of me for the
stunt like you pulled today
Chorus:
They took the copper right out of the penny Lou
They got the pig locked up in the pen
But you're in big trouble with me, yes you
If you ever do that again
Ten bucks a week protection don't mean I can't
knock you down
You've got to treat me like a living saint Lou,
whenever my son's around
Yeah the kid wants to be a policeman just like me
You know he'll be a good one the way I started
out to be
And he just might end up police chief, now
wouldn't that be something to see?
'Cause then the kid would kick right off of the
force all the two-bit grifters like me
Chorus
I guess it was when my old lady left me and she
took off with a salesman guy
I started to see things so differently, cut your
own slice out of the pie
Yeah I grew up and it came clear to me all the
smart cops on the make
You get a silver badge not an old tin star when
you're on the take
It's pimps and whores, punk gang wars, robberies
and homicides
When you walk the beat with the creeps on the
street, well there ain't no way to hide
I spent half my life without no wife ridin' herd
on the scum of the earth
I learned the tricks of the trade from the gutter
parade and then I prayed for all I'm worth
Don't you know I appreciate the money Lou, 'cause
it all goes into the bank
And when I send my kid to college someday I'll
have guys like you to thank
Yeah ten bucks a week on your grocery store means
you don't have to worry 'bout crime But hold your
money when the kid's with me you can pay me double
next time
Chorus
Ten bucks a week protection don't mean I can't
knock you down
You've got to treat me like a living saint Lou,
whenever my son's around
