'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 Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Dreams Go By, Empty, Everybodys Lonely, Everybodys Lonely, Fall In Love With Him, Flowers Are Red, Get On With It, God Babe Youve Been Good To Me, God Babe Youve Been Good To Me, Greyhound, Halfway To Heaven, I Do It For You, Jane, I Dont Want To Be President, I Dont Want to Be President, I Finally Found It, Sandy, I Miss America, I Wanna Learn A Love Song, I Wonder What Would Happen to Him, I Wonder What Would Happen To This World, If My Mary Were Here, If You Want To Feel, It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains, Jenny, Last of the Protest Singers, Last Stand, Laugh Man, Legends of the Lost and Found, Let Time Go Lightly, Love Is Just Another Word, Mail Order Annie, Manhood, Mercenaries, Mismatch, Mr. Tanner, My Old Lady, Northwest 222, November Rains, Odd Job Man, Old College Avenue, Old Folkie, On The Road To Kingdom Come, One Light In A Dark Valley, Paint A Picture Of Yourself (Michael), Poor Damned Fool, Pretzel Man, Remember When the Music, Roll Down The River, Salt And Pepper, Sandy, Saturday Morning, Other Harry Chapin song Lyrics 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas Lyrics A Better Place To Be Lyrics A Lot of Lonely People Tonight Lyrics A Quiet Little Love Affair Lyrics All My Lifes A Circle Lyrics And The Baby Never Cries Lyrics Anthem Lyrics Any Old Kind Of Day Lyrics Babysitter Lyrics Barefoot Boy Lyrics Basic Protest Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Harry Connick Lyrics Jr. Harry Connick Lyrics Harry James Lyrics Harry James Orchestra Lyrics Harry McClintock Lyrics Harry Mills Lyrics Harry Nilsson Lyrics Harry Potter Lyrics Harry Secombe Lyrics Harry Simeone Chorale Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
