Tiger Lillies - Gangster lyrics
Your rating:
Intimidating people I bully their respect Raw and brutal fear with them I infect Obedience and servitude or a certain death I'll send flowers to their funeral on their grave to rest The law of this jungle: the brutal do survive If you bow before me, you will stay alive Brutality is something I have always shown As a means to an end I have always known But no matter how you threaten their safety and their health There's always another thug, always someone else Who'll stand up to you playing the same game And in a gutter some day it's you who has been slain Dog-eat-dog brutality, on the street we're trapped When we've made lots of money, the fact is still the fact That you are just the lowest that comes up from the street With all the money that you make you always look cheap When the cops do get you, they will lock you up So in this world of violence your soul they will corrupt So the cops control us gutter trash If we make it big, us they will smash And when they come down on us, regret we ever lived For our low beginnings they do not forgive We deal in drugs and whores, low-life street trash Then when we make too much, us they come and smash Maintain the status quo, the rich should stay rich They'll keep us trash down for us life is a bitch
