Can't face the music so you pin that badge,
No days accusing if you pin that badge,
Rip up the ticket 'cause it ain't your jag,
don't wanna pick it case the roots go bad,
You'll be promoted if you pin that badge,
Love and devoted if you pin that badge,
Chest full of medals and a desk to match,
A pretty woman and a semi detached.
Can't play your guitar so you pin that badge,
First band has cut you so you pin that badge,
You fit the picture but you sing so bad,
Pick out a window or a taxi cab.
Not me, not mine,
Got myself an alibi I think you'll find,
Step back, less flack,
Two weeks later and it ain't so slack,
You watch, I've learned,
Kepp your nose clean and you don't get burned,
Too late, loose bait,
Beam that halo when the heads count for judgement day.
You'll go to heaven if you pin that badge,
Stay lucky seven if you pin that badge,
Skip past the devil as he turns his back,
Live in the middle of an angel patch, yeah!
Shit at the office so you pin that badge,
Sniffed all the profit so you pin that badge,
Say you ain't bothered and it ain't your bag,
You'd still be off it if you never had, yeah!
Can't face the music so you pin that badge,
No days of accusing if you pin that badge,
Rip up the ticket 'cause it ain't your jag,
Don't wanna pick it case the roots go bad,
You'll be promoted if you pin that badge,
Love and devoted if you pin that badge,
Chest full of medals and a desk to match,
A pretty woman and a semi detached.
