Gangland Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile Dead men -- tell no tales
Face at the window leers into your own
In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long till they come? A rat in a trap but you've got to survive Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the day when the hard times began Now your alone but alive for how long? Dead men -- tell no tales
A knife at your throat another body on the pile
In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die A contract to keep and it's service with a smile Murder for vengeance or murder for gain Death on the streets or a blackened out jail Dead men -- tell no tales
In Gangland -- murder's up for sale Dead men -- tell no tales In Gangland -- where jail birds die Dead men... In Gangland... Murder... In Gangland... you tell no tales |
