Somebody Got Murdered

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



Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever



And you're minding your own business

Carrying spare change

You wouldn't cosh a barber, you're hungry all the same

I been very tempted to grab it from the till

I been very hungry but not enough to kill



Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever



Somebody got murdered, his name cannot be found

A small stain on the pavement, they'll scrub it off the ground

As the daily crown disperses, no one says that much

Somebody got murdered, and it left me with a touch



Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever



Sounds like murder, those shouts

Are they drunk down below?

Sounds like murder, those screams

Are they drunk down below?



It's late, and my watch stopped some time ago

Sounds like murder

Those screams

Are they drunk down below?
