It`s A Killer — текст песни (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

(G. Rossington, J.& D. Van Zant, E. King)

There`s a rumour goin` `round on the backside of town
Jake is out to get some revenge
Has fire in his eyes since his brother died
Shot down by a so-called friend

For a fifty dollar gram is what the neighbors say
Drugs had control of his life
Caught up on crack you`re tryin` to think back
The devil had him hooked you could see it in his eyes
It`s a killer

There`s a cold house at the corner of the street
The kids come and go there at night
Jerry drove up in front of the house
Somebody pulled out a knife
Jerry freaked out 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

(chorus)
It`s a killer there`s no way out baby once your in
It`s a killer steal from your family
Then you`ll turn on your friends
It`s a killer It can happen to you

So don`t you never, never give in
It`s a killer

The neighborhood I used to call home
These days it`s lookin` like a war zone
Unemployment on the rise but the black market thrives
Money just keeps changin` hands
The laws are gettin` tough sometimes it`s not enough
To satisfy supply and demand

Trouble breaks out there`s fightin` in the streets
Bullets flyin` all around
An innocent child caught in the line of fire
All because there weren`t enough drugs to go around

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)
