Patterson Hood - The Assa**in lyrics

Used to be a k**er Best k**er in the land k**ed women and children Just as easy as a man Leave their mangled bodies Nonchalantly at the door But now I ain't got the stomach For k**ing any more Made me lots of money Was the best at my job Never had to nine to five Or cheat or steal or rob Just load up my gun And leave them on the floor But now I've lost my taste For k**ing any more Something must be done But it's all that I can do What good is an a**a**in Who just can't follow through She took me in her arms When no one else would have me Taught me how to throw the blade And never let 'em have me Taught me how to shoot so straight Without a moments sk** She was the most beautiful thing That I have ever k**ed
