lyrics

What you deserve is a breaking on a bed post
What you deserve is shameful epithets
You deserve to live inside the void we all look into
To think that I once thought there was no fate worse than death

She came to me, calling after midnight
Sobbing in the bathtub with still her sweater done
As I watched the water run from salmon into scarlet
I knew right then and there we would not stop 'til this war's won

We packed the car and we headed down to Danvers
I at the wheel, her small frame shotgun side
I'll erase evidence like you erase accusations
Why is justice for others so often self denied?

A fault of mine is giving liars second chances
A fault of yours is extirpating with delight
So I've added it all up and I have planned it out exactly
I can spare your pride, so I will only take your life

We got to town, we hit a local packie
Swapped cash for bleach and rope we trunked in with the tarp
Then we smoked spliffs with chapped lips in the parking lot of Dunkies
We watched you punch the clock, walk out slowly to your car

Take a brick to the back of his head, repeat til his eyes turn red
He thought he could get away and hurt her
But he don't know what's up my sleeve
He can't clean a slate by me
He don't know what I've learned to be
With what I've learned to get away:
Get away with murder

I know how to scrub, it's a humble occupation
The stains of my sin I will take unto my grave
But graves are only bed if you erase the stoneheads
Erasing your body's weight's the last bed I'll ever make

I won't be here should the sirens pull up blaring
I won't be here should they drain the whole canal
I won't serve a second for an underserving scumbag
Besides which, there's no search team since no one's missing you at all

Take a brick to the back of his head, repeat til his eyes turn red
He thought he could get away and hurt her
But he don't know what's up my sleeve
He can't clean a slate by me
He don't know what I've learned to be
With what I've learned to get away:
Get away with murder

M-U-R-D-E-R-E-S-S that's how you spell justice
M-U-R-D-E-R-E-S-S that's how you spell justice
M-U-R-D-E-R-E-S-S that's how you spell justice
R-A-P-I-S-T that's how you spell deceased

Take a brick to the back of his head, repeat til his eyes turn red
He thought he could get away and hurt her
But he don't know what's up my sleeve
He can't clean a slate by me
He don't know what I've learned to be
With what I've learned to get away:
Get away with murder
