Story Behind The Song
My best friend, fellow undercover law enforcement officer, veteran, biker tragically died in an accident. On his biker vest was a patch, "Cut One, We All Bleed" After attending his funeral and spending time with my brothers-in-arms, I wrote this song.
Song Description
Few jobs instill loyalty and sense of brotherhood. The only ones around anymore are the armed forces, law enforcement, EMS and oddly enough, outlaw motorcycle gangs have this deep sense of loyalty to one another. When you 'Cut One of Us, We all Bleed."

Lyrics
CUT ONE, WE ALL BLEED
By
Howard Levinson
Some wear a badge over their chest
Some wear a patch on a black leather vest
Some in camo brown or jungle green
It's all about trust and loyalty
I got your back your back, you know what I mean
No matter what side of the line we're standing on.
Cause when you take an oath and live by a creed
You cut one of us, we all bleed
There's some of us in every town
In a uniform or not we're holding our ground
You're either one of us, or one of them
It's all about brotherhood, love and pride,
Comes with a price that's mighty high
All gave some, some gave all.
Cause when you take an oath and live by a creed
You cut one of us, we all bleed.
All too often we lose a brother,
To the road, or a bullet it doesn't really matter
You never see it coming, even when it comes for you.
Tears a hole into your chest,
Pills and whiskey ain't no help,
We all get together to ease the pain
Cause when you take an oath and live by a creed
Cut one of us, we all bleed.
