Tom MacDonald - Murder Business lyrics

There’s always one witness
When you're in the murder business
You pull the blinds down low
Think you’re safe but you’re not alone
Said, there’s always one witness
When you’re in the murder business
Pick the shells up off
The ground, drive away, didn’t make a sound

I ain’t a killer, but don’t push me
I could change my mind
I learned a thing or two
In Compton about taking lives
There ain’t a place on the plant
Earth that is safe hide
If you’re blinded by some money they’ll
Try to take your eye
Underneath all of their T-shirts they got
Vests on for the riots
They run up on you in the
Library cause all the guns are
Silenced they kidnap the people you care
For to guarantee your compliance
If you notify the police
Your family been dead when you find them
That’s the game though, lay low
Thank your guardian Angel
Make peace with god in case you
End up at his gate, yo

Sometimes it’s better to save it if
You can bite your tongue
I know it’s hurts and you hate it
When you can taste that blood
She got a bun in the oven, you put a gun
To her stomach, and tell her
"shut the fuck up, truth is all you need"
Her husband owed you some money
And explain if you don’t get
It you’ll take the baby out
The belly of the beast, woah oh

There’s always one witness
When you're in the murder business
You pull the blinds down low
Think you’re safe but you’re not alone
Said, there’s always one witness
When you’re in the murder business
Pick the shells up off
The ground, drive away, didn’t make a sound

I ducked my first shot in Alberta
Heard my best friend just got murdered by
The cops and it made sense
He didn’t answer all my calls
I stole my first kilo in the prairies
Barely made it out a scary
Situation with my balls
Whippin’ around and breakin’ it down and
Flippin’ it out the Durango
Half an ounce and a hubcap and the
Rest of it on my ankles
Living with so many bikers
Who think Harley Davidson live at the crib
Seen more shit than most did
And I was just a kid it didn’t last long
I guess that is the nature of the
Business, kill the witness, all the
Rats gotta die, even Mikey, uh

The feds watchin’ the heads knockin’
The lead poppin’ the dead walkin’
Like they unlocked and left coffins
And I'm just talking with the
Lord before I sleep
Like they killed two of my friends, god
Don’t let them get me he don’t respond and I
Don’t expect forgiveness
I made deals with the devil when
I left the murder business

Finish what you feel
You should hold your breath
Turn your head before the kiss of death
Are you ready to attack? Pray
To god that they
Shots miss and then send a couple back
Bang bang

There’s always one witness
When you're in the murder business
You pull the blinds down low
Think you’re safe but you’re not alone
Said, there’s always one witness
When you’re in the murder business
Pick the shells up off
The ground, drive away, didn’t make a sound

There’s always one witness
When you in the murder business
Pick your shells up off the ground
Drive away don’t make a sound, no
Said, there’s always one witness
When you’re in the murder business
Take the lights down low, you’re not alone
