Testo It's a Killer - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Testo della canzone It's a Killer (Lynyrd Skynyrd), tratta dall'album Leggende del Rock
There's a rumor going 'round on the bad side of town
Jake is out to get some revenge
There's fire in his eyes since his brother died
Shot down by a so-called friend
Oh, a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors say
Drugs had control of his life
He caught a fool crack, he tried to fight back
The devil had him hooked, you could see it in his eyes
It's a killer
There's an old house at the corner of the street
Where kids come and go late at night
When Terry drove up in front of the house
Somebody pulled out a knife
Oh, he shoved it deep down and went for his gun
Shot him right between the eyes
All he ever wanted was a twenty dollar high
But now he's locked up for the rest of his life
It's a killer
There's no way out, baby, once you're in
It's a killer
You steal from your family, then you turn on your friends
It's a killer
It can happen to you, so don't you never, never give in
Oh, it's a killer
The neighborhood I used to call home
These days are looking like a war zone
Unemployment on the rise but the black market thrives
The money just keeps changing hands
The laws are getting tough, sometimes it's not enough
To satisfy supply and demand
Oh, trouble breaks out, there's fighting in the streets
Bullets flying all around
An innocent child caught in the line of fire
All because there weren't enough drugs to go around
It's a killer
There's no way out, baby, once you're in
It's a killer
You steal from your family, then you turn on your friends
It's a killer
It can happen to me, it can happen to you
It's a killer
It's a killer
