Guys on Every Corner Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From the front door to the drug store
From the drug store to the bakery
From the loading dock to the chimes of the city clock
They're about to make their play for me

[Chorus 1]
But I will rise, I will rise
'Cause I got guys
Guys on every corner

[Verse 2]
With your tabloid stars and your unmarked cars
With your special forces and your inside sources
With your radar fields and your riot shields
And heavy horses

[Chorus 2]
I'm coming to swat you down like flies
'Cause I got guys
Guys on every corner

[Bridge]
They don't look so special
T-shirts and tennis shoes, blank exprеssions
A couple of Chicago guys
A robust East Bay delegation

[Verse 3]
From thе far ends of the earth they have loosely gathered
To stand in doorways making small talk about the weather
They look like nothing, they look like your neighbors
You won't remember their faces later

[Chorus 3]
Run like rats
Look to the skies
'Cause I got guys
Guys on every corner

That is a stakeout song that comes from a lot of these action movies, especially Italian ones, but also plenty of American ones—mafia or various mafia-adjacent things. I like the element of sort of a private militia that is lurking everywhere.
