Harry Chapin - Copper слова песни




If you were looking for a way to make me mad it was a sure fire way you foundActing like a half wit fool, laying your money aroundWell I came back here to tell you Lou, `bout what you almost didDon`t you ever put the cash on the counter Lou, when I`m with my kidYeah the kid`s thirteen he`s growing Lou, two years and he`ll be bigger than meStill he thinks I`m strong as a blacksmith and straighter than the tall oak treeI raised him alone ten years now since his Mama ran awayAnd you ain`t gonna blow his image of me for the stunt like you pulled todayChorus:They took the copper right out of the penny LouThey got the pig locked up in the penBut you`re in big trouble with me, yes youIf you ever do that againTen bucks a week protection don`t mean I can`t knock you downYou`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 meYou know he`ll be a good one the way I started out to beAnd 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 guyI started to see things so differently, cut your own slice out of the pieYeah I grew up and it came clear to me all the smart cops on the makeYou get a silver badge not an old tin star when you`re on the takeIt`s pimps and whores, punk gang wars, robberies and homicidesWhen you walk the beat with the creeps on the street, well there ain`t no way to hideI spent half my life without no wife ridin` herd on the scum of the earthI learned the tricks of the trade from the gutter parade and then I prayed for all I`m worthDon`t you know I appreciate the money Lou, `cause it all goes into the bankAnd when I send my kid to college someday I`ll have guys like you to thankYeah 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 timeChorusTen bucks a week protection don`t mean I can`t knock you downYou`ve got to treat me like a living saint Lou, whenever my son`s around
