Somebody Got Murdered

[Verse 1]

Someone lights a cigarette

While riding in a car

Some old guy takes a swig

And passes back the jar

But where they were last night

No one can remember

Somebody got murdered

Goodbye, for keeps, forever

[Chorus]

Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever

[Verse 2]

And you're minding your own business

Carrying spare change

You wouldn't cosh a barber

You're hungry all the same

I've been very tempted

To grab it from the till

I've been very hungry

But not enough to kill

[Chorus]

Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever

[Verse 3]

Somebody got murdered

His name cannot be found

A small stain on the pavement

They'll scrub it off the ground

As the daily crowd disperses

No one says that much

Somebody got murdered

And it left me with a touch

[Chorus]

Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever

[Outro]

Sounds like murder

Those shouts

Are they drunk down below?

Sounds like murder

Those screams

Are they drunk down below?

It's late

My watch stopped

Some time ago

Sounds like murder

Those screams

Drunk down below
