Somebody Got Murdered
The Specials

Someone lights a cigarette

While riding in a car

Some ol' guy take a swig

And passes back the jar


But where they were last night

No one can remember

Goodbye, for keeps forever


Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever


And you're minding your own business

Carrying spare change

You wouldn't cosh a barber

You're hungry all the same


I been very tempted

To grab it from the till

I been very hungry

But not enough to kill


Somebody got murdered

His name cannot be found

A small stain on the pavement

They'll scrub it off the ground


As the daily crown disperse

No one says that much

Somebody got murdered

And it' left me with a touch


Somebody got murdered

Somebody's dead forever


Sounds like murder

Those shouts

Are they drunk down below?


It's late and my watch stopped

Some time ago


Sounds like murder

Those screams

Are they drunk down below?
