Dr. Gelati & The Lemon Garden Lyrics - Singles - The Cut Throat Razors

Once in lemon scented Palermo 

A danger lurks in the garden 

A dark and sinister creed 

Who lives for money and greed 

And is bound by an oath of loyalty 

A murderous secret society 

We are many yet we are few 

We are evil but we are you 

Were the best with many heads 

Were the nightmare in your beds 

Weve got lawyers, judges, bankers, soldiers too 

I am beautiful and I am bold 

Im a killer and I am cold 

Just remember when we meet 

I have toothache be discreet 

Or youll end up lying, dying in the street 

Chorus 

Oh, you men of honour 

Oh, you men of class 

Behold, you men of honour 

If you dont play the game 

You will live a life of shame 

And youll feel the wrath of mafia tyranny 

Bernadino, what a hero 

A socialist like Sicilys never seen 

With his peasant federation 

He attacked our very nation 

til we ran him down and shot him in the spleen 

Mussolini, fascist bastard! 

A scum bag of right wing tyranny 

He very nearly had us 

With his leather and his blackshirts 

til the yanks delivered us liberty 

Chorus 

Joe Bananas, Americanos 

Sicilian by birth through and through 

Narcotics we control 

We destroy your very soul 

And well kill you if you turn the other way 

Luciano, hes the capo di capo 

And you should live in fear 

When youre lying in your bed 

He will shoot you in your head 

Hes a crazy motherfucker, hes insane 

Chorus 

So heres a warning to all of Italy 

You cut our throats? Be prepared for what you see 

For the smell of mafia has a lure 

To the rich, the powerful and the poor 

And the blood that will flow from our veins 

Wont wash away all your shame 

Chorus
