Snitcho And The Dinosaurs: Blood Money

Caught up in a deal between myself and the old man
Some easy money for me because they had made a plan
To kill a gang of motherfuckers fucking with the truth
Never done a thing like this before but I had to choose
Between killing these kids or feeding my family
I finally decided that the best was for the three
People in my life completely dependant on me
I prayed to god before joining the conspiracy

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Finally it's there, everyone is there
We're fighting, and we're fighting and we're fighting and we're there
Too late to turn your back, too late to try and run
Hero if you die, traitor if you run

You think you've gone as far as you can go but you are wrong
Just before the big attack when I had lost my nerve from
Thinking the fight through in my head again and again
I was so scared and I had been shaking still shaking again
I didn't know what to do, I hadn't done this before
Suddenly I found myself lying on the floor
Man crouched over me with a huge blade
Then suddenly in a few seconds my fears to rest were laid

Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Finally it's there, everyone is there
We're fighting, and we're fighting and we're fighting and we're there
Too late to turn your back, too late to try and run
Hero if you die, traitor if you run

You struggled to make it this far but still
It all vanished to dust with one swift kill
Your heart stopped beating your lungs stopped breathing
Your lifeless body tumbled to the floor

You never thought it through and that's your fault
But you never thought it would end with your slit throat
Dying in the middle of ground that you fought for
You never thought that argument would get you so far

You think about the people you're leaving behind
No honour for children with a face down father
Who's lying six feet beneath the ground
You're just one of the 'men who died in combat'

Now you know what it's like to be a nobody
All your life now you know what it's like
This wasn't how you thought it would end
No glory, no love, no nothing in the end

You took your last breath and it all came to you
What you had done, good, bad, and all true
All your lies and all your hatred
Back to haunt you in the end

Fifty years have passed and nobody remembers you
Except the three people who you went into the fight to
Help them out from the trouble you were in
You couldn't help them out after you had been killed
They wondered and they starved, where had there father gone
They would never know and they would never survive for long
Maybe their father ran off with another girl
They would never know he was trying to save them all
