The Good Guys (Dick Tracey)

"I recently re watched Dick Tracy, kind of when we were in the thick of that nightmare election and I was feeling pretty bleak about there being any good guys left."

There's a skeleton in every closet
and everybody's in some other man's pocket
do you ever start to think you've got it wrong?
Do you remember why you're here tonight?
it's all for sale if the price is right
and you've been losing at this same fight for so long

So Tracy take the bribe
'cause there ain't no more good guys
and you could be on a plane tonight
leave this wasted city far behind
yeah I'm talking peace of mind
and you could buy that girl a ring
and all the pretty things that she deserves
when you gonna learn
this is how it works

She used to cook you supper
listen to your stories about cops and robbers
she used to love the way the badge could catch the light
but you caught a couple bad breaks
started coming home from work late
and she started getting headaches every night

so Tracy take the bribe
cause there ain't no more good guys
you could be on that plane tonight
leave this sinner's city far behind
she could be by your side
you know she'd try to understand
a man has got to be a man any way he can
any way he can
