Forget Murder

pardon me Mr jailer
Heard you calling out 209
I cannot recall that particular scene
All's I know's jack's head in a vice

Sure there were valid reasons
for all of his crimes
It ain't none of our business
No god as your witness
Regardless, with all of the blood, it ain't none of mine

Forget murder
I said, forget murder
I said, forget murder
Because they don't even have a word for this yet

Forget murder
I said forget murder
I said forget murder
No he ain't dead yet
Oh oh
No - Oh uh oh
No oh no

I begged for Jack's life
Bended knee, asked him twice
He says, "You go on now, and leave him to me."
"Don't talk with your mouth full and you always ask nice."
I could remember some more if you just let me breathe

Now, I needed to see
Jack's head up in that tree
While that angel turned as the night
"If you're lucky he'll spare you
You've committed no crime
Keep your head up and eyes open wide"

Angel whispered real close
He ran off with jack's ghost

"This man's going to burn
For there's nothing to learn
From a quick death -
No no no Just don't feel right."

Forget murder
I said Forget murder
I won't talk
I will die on my own time

forget murder
I said forget murder
I said forget murder
Cause he ain't dead yet
Forget murder
i said forget murder
I said Forget murder
cause they don't even have a word for this yet

Forget murder
I said, forget murder
I said forget murder
cause he ain't dead yet
Forget murder
I said forget murder
I said forget murder
Because they don't even have a word for this yet
Forget murder
I said forget murder
I said forget murder
no, we ain't dead yet
forget murder. forget murder
I won't talk
I will die on my own time
Forget murder. I said, forget murder.
No, we ain't dead yet, oh.
