Текст песни Killed a Man (Jerry Salley) с переводом

First time I ever killed a man

Oh it was just an accident

That pistol wound up in my hand

First time i ever killed a man

That powder fell into his drink

He chugged all but the kitchen sink

It was merely just an act of chance

First time i ever killed a man

Oh the nation needs an explanation

A complication in my plan

Give me a good once-over

But in your full disclosure

Officer, please understand

He seemed to fall into that tarp

The knife just happened to be sharp

I peeled him off the frying pan

First time i ever killed a man

Now the nation needs an explanation

A complication in my plan

It’s all a little hazy

But he was acting crazy

Your Honor, can’t you understand

I swear this isn’t what it seems

That blade he took was meant for me

The tables turned, shit hit the fan

First time I ever killed a man

I guess the nation needs an explanation

A complication in my plan

I didn’t wanna do it

But he’d have beat me to it

Jury, won’t you understand

This is just my first offense

I acted out of self-defense

If you only knew the circumstance

I’ll bet your ass you would have killed that man
