Copper (铜) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]
If you were looking for a way to make me mad it was a sure fire way you found[00:00:30]
Acting like a half wit fool laying your money around[00:00:35]
Well I came back here to tell you Lou 'bout what you almost did[00:00:40]
Don't you ever put the cash on the counter Lou when I'm with my kid[00:00:44]
Yeah the kid's thirteen he's growing Lou two years and he'll be bigger than me[00:00:52]
Still he thinks I'm strong as a blacksmith and straighter than the tall oak tree[00:00:58]
I raised him alone ten years now since his Mama ran away[00:01:04]
And you ain't gonna blow his image of me for the stunt like you pulled today[00:01:09]
They took the copper right out of the penny Lou[00:01:17]
They got the pig locked up in the pen[00:01:20]
But you're in big trouble with me yes you[00:01:23]
If you ever do that again[00:01:26]
You've got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son's around[00:01:34]
Yeah the kid wants to be a policeman just like me[00:01:46]
You know he'll be a good one the way I started out to be[00:01:53]
And he just might end up police chief now wouldn't that be something to see [00:01:58]
'Cause then the kid would kick right off of the force all the two-bit grifters like me[00:02:04]
They took the copper right out of the penny Lou[00:02:12]
They got the pig locked up in the pen[00:02:15]
But you're in big trouble with me yes you[00:02:18]
If you ever do that again[00:02:21]
You've got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son's around[00:02:30]
I guess it was when my old lady left me and she took off with a salesman guy[00:02:48]
I started to see things so differently cut your own slice out of the pie[00:02:54]
Yeah I grew up and it came clear to me all the smart cops on the make[00:02:59]
You get a silver badge not an old tin star when you're on the take[00:03:04]
It's pimps and whores punk gang wars robberies and homicides[00:03:14]
When you walk the beat with the creeps on the street well there ain't no way to hide[00:03:20]
I learned the tricks of the trade from the gutter parade and then I prayed for all I'm worth[00:03:32]
And when I send my kid to college someday I'll have guys like you to thank[00:03:55]
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[00:04:01]
They took the copper right out of the penny Lou[00:04:15]
They got the pig locked up in the pen[00:04:18]
But you're in big trouble with me yes you[00:04:22]
If you ever do that again[00:04:25]
Ten bucks a week protection don't mean I can't knock you down[00:04:26]
You've got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son's around[00:04:33]
Ten bucks a week protection don't mean I can't knock you down[00:04:42]
You've got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son's around[00:04:50]
