Yakuza Dawn Lyrics

4am, they arrive for the slaying
they're armed to the teeth and they're not playing
they'll take your mother, your father
your sister, your brother
your friend, your lover
your own child or another
to keep you from straying
you'd better keep praying
that others keep paying, the price of failure
that you stay in their favour
that you're on your best behaviour
seek protection from your saviourthey'll take a finger or two to remind you
not to step out of line, not to waste their time
not to do things wrong or they'll step out from
the shadows, in the morning light
to give you a fright, to show their might
that they're in control, that they own your soul
so keep the drugs flowing

keep the strippers showing
keep the currency growing
do all of these knowing that you're dispensable
one mistake could prove fatal
be sensible and you shall not fall during the dawn of the yakuzayakuza dawn, yakuza dawn
yakuza dawn, yakuza dawn
