The Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Man, he talks to God and he's gonna kill, kill, kill
The man, he talks to God and he's gonna kill, kill, kill (x2)
The man, he talks to God and he's gonna kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill to forget, kill for regret
Kill 'cause you're feeling so sick
Kill to get more, kill all the poor
Kill 'cause your plays it's tricks
Kill for revenge, kill for your friends
Kill 'cause it works until it hurts
(x2)
It was something a butterfly told me
I thought I heard a butterfly scold me
Man, he talks to God and he's gonna kill, kill, kill
The man, he talks to God and he's gonna kill, kill, kill (x2)
The man, he talks to God and he's gonna kill, kill, kill, kill
Kill for the love, kill for the fun
Kill 'cause it makes you want to come
Kill for no reason, tis the season
'Cause it's real, kill for the feel
Kill in the name, killing the pain
Kill 'cause you do not feel a thing
(x2 + x2)
It was something a butterfly told me
I thought I heard a butterfly scold me
Man, he talks to God, he's gonna kill, kill, kill
The man, he talks to God, he's gonna kill, kill, kill (x4)
The man, he talks to God, he's gonna kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
The man, he talks to God
