Cops & Robbers [Live]

lyrics

"Cops & Robbers"

Billy's on the front porch
Plastic badge and finger pistols
Johnny's out there in the woods somewhere
With a stick shaped like a rifle
And when the bullets start to flyin'
They both cry out and double over
Nobody made it out alive
But they both made it home for supper

Cops and robbers
Silly games children play
Cops and robbers
Bang bang you're dead

Billy moved on uptown
When his mama got promoted
Johnny stuck around the neigborhood
Never did get up to no good
Billy joined the police
Like his father had before him
Johnny bought himself a pistol
When he just ran out of options

Cops and robbers
Silly games children play
Cops and robbers
Bang bang you're dead

Johnny holds that pistol
In the face of some bank teller
Billy takes the call
Just a couple minutes later
Lights are flashin' , siren's wailin
Got his foot down on the floor
Johnny's heart's up in his throat
As he slips on out the backdoor

Johnny's runnin' down an alley
When that cruiser cuts him off
But he's always been a cowboy
Goes into his coat to draw
He's just about to fire
When he recognizes his friend Bill
Billy says "Hey man, I'll stall em
Stay outta sight and run like hell"

Cops and robbers
Silly games children play
Cops and robbers
Bang bang you're dead

Cops and robbers
Silly games children play
Cops and robbers
Bang bang you're dead

Bang bang you're dead
Bang bang you're dead
