Ben grew up to be the butcher not by choice [00:00:00]
It's just the lot in life he found[00:00:03]
But he makes a decent living [00:00:08]
Feeds his family and the people of the town[00:00:09]
But there's no dreams brought to fruition [00:00:15]
Just a gradual attrition[00:00:16]
The decayed scraps of ambition he once carved by hand[00:00:18]
But there's no time for regrets [00:00:22]
It's not as bad as it appears[00:00:23]
He's got a lucrative career[00:00:25]
But he never gets the bloodstains off his hands[00:00:27]
A killer frequents bars on Ladies'[00:00:43]
Night with a steely-eyed command[00:00:45]
But he ain't out cruising hookers and he ain't no shady looker [00:00:50]
He's a charming handsome man[00:00:53]
His voice says ladies but his mind is thinking bitches[00:00:57]
But his pitch is just too much for most of them to withstand[00:01:00]
He tells them jokes and he gets them all in stitches[00:01:04]
And it goes off without hitches[00:01:07]
Till he tries to get the bloodstains off his hands[00:01:09]
Nothing good comes easy[00:01:43]
Isn't that what you would have me to believe[00:01:44]
For every positive endeavor there is a dark side we must weather[00:01:49]
You will see yeah you will see[00:01:53]
All the coroners and corpsmen and the slaughterhouse foremen[00:02:07]
It's just there job five days a week [00:02:11]
Please try and understand[00:02:13]
It's their lot to get through it [00:02:14]
They know someone's got to do it[00:02:16]
And try not to misconstrue it[00:02:18]
When they try to wash the bloodstains off their hands[00:02:19]
Now she's had seven years of happiness with a boy[00:02:25]
She's always claimed to have adored[00:02:27]
And there's fewer who've been truer[00:02:32]
But as of late she finds herself a little bored[00:02:34]
She tells him she still loves him[00:02:39]
And has only good thoughts of him[00:02:41]
And the times they've had and hopes[00:02:43]
That it'll help him understand[00:02:45]
When she runs her knife straight through him [00:02:46]
It's the only way to do them[00:02:48]
She's the winner of the game[00:02:50]
But she'll never get the bloodstains off her hands[00:02:52]
In the end they all fall just the same[00:02:56]
But she'll never get the bloodstains off her hands[00:02:59]
He will have some cheburery big[00:03:03]
But she'll never get the bloodstains off her hands[00:03:06]
