lyrics

He had heard it all before
the excuses and the pleas
A last attempt and final words
to try and make some peace
But by now his heart was cold
and every bone was bad
This is what happens
when you mess around with

One bullet to the head
another for good measure
The body fell straight to the floor
and brought him twisted pleasure

A week went by and in the field
police had found the gun
His prints were on it they had him
suspect number one
But he was loco, bad, and rough
and he knew just what to do
He cut his fingertips right off
police would have no proof

One finger at a time
erasing any trail
Of the things that he had done
and that’s the tale of
One bullet to the head
another for good measure
The body fell straight to the floor
and brought him twisted pleasure

Everyone knew he had killed
that man some weeks ago
But no one dared stand witness
against El Merchero

One bullet to the head
another for good measure
The body fell straight to the floor
and brought him twisted pleasure
One finger at a time
erasing any trail
Of the things that he had done
and that’s the tale of

Whatchu gonna do, you got no proof
Whatchu gonna do you got no
Whatchu gonna do, you got no proof
Whatchu gonna do you got no...
