(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
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
