Up there - there is so much room Where babies burp and flowers bloom Everyone dreams, I can dream too Up there - up where the skies are ocean blue I can be safe and live without a care Live without a care… If only I could live up there!\* ---

Hundreds of guys depended on Paulie and he got a piece of everything they made. And it was tribute, just like in the old country, except they were doing it here in America. And all they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. And that’s what it’s all about. That’s what the FBI could never understand. That what Paulie and the organization does is offer protection for people who can’t go to the cops. That’s it. That’s all it is. They’re like the police department for wiseguys. ---
