Lyrics
Murderer
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.
She's a murderer, but who planted the seed?
The pastor baptized her,
But the deed he could not clean.
The father tried to be a good man,
And the mother kept her child.
He cried and begged and wept,
As she pierced the knife through his heart,
But who could blame the child,
To cast the first stone.
Oh, now she's a murderer.
Now she's a murderer.
She was always looking for a way out not in.
The church became her prison,
For her it only held sin.
She cried, "daddy, why am I so sad?
I've never done nothing wrong."
He said, "you got the blood of an evil man,
But you've got to stay strong."
She watched as he cried and begged and wept,
As she pierced the knife through his heart,
But who could blame the child,
To cast the first stone.
Oh, now she's a murderer.
Now she's a murderer.
She cried, "daddy, why am I so sad?
I've never done nothing wrong."
He said, "you got the blood of an evil man,
But you've got to stay strong."
Jesus is my buddha,
And buddha is muhammad,
Buddha is my Jesus,
And nothing will divide us.
He cried and begged and wept,
As she pierced the knife through his heart,
But who could blame the child,
To cast the first stone,
To cast the first stone.
Oh, now she's a murderer.
Now she's a murderer.
