《Copper》歌词

[00:00:00] Copper (铜) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:30] If you were looking for a way to make me mad it was a sure fire way you found

[00:00:35] Acting like a half wit fool laying your money around

[00:00:40] Well I came back here to tell you Lou ＇bout what you almost did

[00:00:44] Don＇t you ever put the cash on the counter Lou when I＇m with my kid

[00:00:52] Yeah the kid＇s thirteen he＇s growing Lou two years and he＇ll be bigger than me

[00:00:58] Still he thinks I＇m strong as a blacksmith and straighter than the tall oak tree

[00:01:04] I raised him alone ten years now since his Mama ran away

[00:01:09] And you ain＇t gonna blow his image of me for the stunt like you pulled today

[00:01:17] They took the copper right out of the penny Lou

[00:01:20] They got the pig locked up in the pen

[00:01:23] But you＇re in big trouble with me yes you

[00:01:26] If you ever do that again

[00:01:34] You＇ve got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son＇s around

[00:01:46] Yeah the kid wants to be a policeman just like me

[00:01:53] You know he＇ll be a good one the way I started out to be

[00:01:58] And he just might end up police chief now wouldn＇t that be something to see

[00:02:04] ＇Cause then the kid would kick right off of the force all the two-bit grifters like me

[00:02:12] They took the copper right out of the penny Lou

[00:02:15] They got the pig locked up in the pen

[00:02:18] But you＇re in big trouble with me yes you

[00:02:21] If you ever do that again

[00:02:30] You＇ve got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son＇s around

[00:02:48] I guess it was when my old lady left me and she took off with a salesman guy

[00:02:54] I started to see things so differently cut your own slice out of the pie

[00:02:59] Yeah I grew up and it came clear to me all the smart cops on the make

[00:03:04] You get a silver badge not an old tin star when you＇re on the take

[00:03:14] It＇s pimps and whores punk gang wars robberies and homicides

[00:03:20] When you walk the beat with the creeps on the street well there ain＇t no way to hide

[00:03:32] I learned the tricks of the trade from the gutter parade and then I prayed for all I＇m worth

[00:03:55] And when I send my kid to college someday I＇ll have guys like you to thank

[00:04:01] 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

[00:04:15] They took the copper right out of the penny Lou

[00:04:18] They got the pig locked up in the pen

[00:04:22] But you＇re in big trouble with me yes you

[00:04:25] If you ever do that again

[00:04:26] Ten bucks a week protection don＇t mean I can＇t knock you down

[00:04:33] You＇ve got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son＇s around

[00:04:42] Ten bucks a week protection don＇t mean I can＇t knock you down

[00:04:50] You＇ve got to treat me like a living saint Lou whenever my son＇s around
