Steve Harris - Gangland lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 k**er's smile [Chorus] Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, murder's up for sale Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, where the jail birds die [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, murder's up for sale Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, where the jail birds die [Verse 4] 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 d**h on the streets or a blackened out jail [Chorus] 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
