Gangland |
| Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave |
| You’re running today maybe tomorrow you’ll be saved |
| You pray for the daylight to save you for a while |
| You wonder if your children will face the killer’s smile |
| Dead men, tell no tales |
| Gangland, murder’s up for sale |
| Dead men, tell no tales |
| Gangland, where the jail birds die |
| Face at the window leers into your own |
| 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 you’re alone but alive for how long? |
| Dead men, tell no tales |
| Gangland, murder’s up for sale |
| Dead men, tell no tales |
| Gangland, where the jail birds die |
| A knife at your throat another body on the pile |
| 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 |
| Gangland, murder’s up for sale |
| Dead men, tell no tales |
| Gangland, where the jail birds die |
| Dead men, gangland |
| Murder, gangland |
| Tell no tales |
