The Cop Game

from Sanity by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

The cops put our house under surveillance
For hard drugs like we’re dealing
Put a sign out saying we’re clean, Detective!
LSD is legal ‘
The property was mic’d for sounds for our film
Speakers wired into the terrace
When they’d make a noise in the woods
We’d communicate directly ‘

Bridge
We know you’re out there; you know we’re in here
Quit playing the cop game, come in for a drink
Quit playing the cop game, come in for a drink
Promise not to spike your coffee with LSD

Put a sign out, tipped off about a raid
‘No Entry to the Orgy’
17 deputies, a Federal Agent
A sheriff with his walky-talky
Claimed I was flushing marijuana away
I was painting flowers on the toilet
Up against the wall, seized a vial of liquid
It was oil for the tape recorder


If the purpose of the raid was to stamp out drugs
All it did was make us famous
Countercultural heroes charges dropped
The headline in all the papers
The property was mic’d for sounds for our film
Speakers wired into the terrace
When they’d make a noise in the woods
We’d communicate directly

Bridge
