Little Barrie Pin That Badge Lyrics

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 yeah!

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
keep 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!

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
keep your nose clean and you don't get burned
too late, loose bait
beam that halo when the heads count for judgement day

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
keep your nose clean and you don't get burned
too late, loose bait
beam that halo when the heads count for judgement day

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
