Lyrics
God did not create you
And the sunlight doesn't warm you
And the music doesn't move you
'Cause you know what' coming, snitch
Your faith will betray you
And the drugs won't soothe you
And the cocktails won't quench you
'Cause you know I'll be calling....snitch
Dead man, don't walk
Or you'll be long gone
Dead man don't walk
You're only halfway home
Dead man, don't walk
Or you'll be long gone
Dead men don't talk....
Don't sleep too late, or stay too long
'Cause I'll be there
And you think you're safe? I think you're wrong
I will be there
Dead man, don't walk
Or you'll be long gone
Dead man don't walk
You're only halfway home
Dead man, don't walk
Or you'll be long gone
Dead men don't talk....
God did not create you
And the devil can't take you
Guess it's just you and me now
You'll never hear me coming, snitch
