"Son Of A Copper" lyrics

Son of a copper but you're to blame
Son of a copper but you're to blame
You better watch out or you're gonna end up back inside
Your dad's a cop, your uncle's a screw
He works down in Saughton looking after prisoners
It's just like working with animals at Edinburgh zoo

I won't end up like my dad
And I won't end up being a screw

In detention for 28 days
For a crime I've got to pay
It wasn't meant, it wasn't me and I've been framed
I didn't mean to kill him, it wasn't my fault
He came at me with a broken bottle
I tried to warn him I had a knife and now he's dead

I won't end up like my dad
And I won't end up being a screw

Son of a copper but you're to blame
Son of a copper but you're to blame
You better watch out or you're gonna end up back inside
Your dad's a cop, your uncle's a screw
He works down in Saughton looking after prisoners
It's just like working with animals at Edinburgh zoo

I won't end up like my dad
And I won't end up being a screw
