lyrics
He woke up from his first dream
and he was still a boy
and he couldn’t understand
He did grow up strong
and he did see and talk to people
but he didn’t feel much
He passed this days
and he would play
but he didn’t have much fun
And when he grew up
he got a job
but it wasn’t what he wanted
He didn’t believe in destiny
but he knew what he was born to be
An assassin
A murderer
An outlaw
come, come, come and meet the man
When he first sunk the knife
when he first saw blood
from another man
When he spread the legs
of an unwilling woman
only then did he understand
When he first shoot a gun
When he first aimed
did he find his pleasure
When he first took something
didn’t belong to him
he felt satisfied
The sweet pleasure of taking a life
The sweet moment of lighting the fuse
The sweet sweet life of a criminal
and he was still a boy
and he couldn’t understand
He did grow up strong
and he did see and talk to people
but he didn’t feel much
He passed this days
and he would play
but he didn’t have much fun
And when he grew up
he got a job
but it wasn’t what he wanted
He didn’t believe in destiny
but he knew what he was born to be
An assassin
A murderer
An outlaw
come, come, come and meet the man
When he first sunk the knife
when he first saw blood
from another man
When he spread the legs
of an unwilling woman
only then did he understand
When he first shoot a gun
When he first aimed
did he find his pleasure
When he first took something
didn’t belong to him
he felt satisfied
The sweet pleasure of taking a life
The sweet moment of lighting the fuse
The sweet sweet life of a criminal
