Okay K K K
O.K.K.K.
Sit down and allow me to tell you a story
but first let's all take an inventory
we've got the K.K.K. riding around with shotguns and a black target or two
we 've got the Mafia running almost all of Las Vegas and making huge bucks to leave you black and blue
and there ain't a stich of clothing you're wearing didn't get the Mafia's okay
And when they stop ruling it that will be the day
who whacked who to take over the garbage end of the deal?
and who killed who to be handed over delivery trucks made of Mafia steel?
from the corner store on Tenth Street and death
ain't nothing that doesn't have a price, everything but your blessed breath
and then we got gang members shooting another gang because he crossed the turf
instead of bragging about bullet wounds they should all learn to surf
we've got as many drugs in the prisons as you do on the street
and that's all because of jailhouse guard Gordon and prisoner Pete
Pete's in for life because he didn't like his old girlfriend kissing another
so Pete took a shotgun and blew the girl away because she was doing Pete's brother
so Pete paces the pen that ain't even ten by ten
but here comes jailhouse guard Gordon to soothe down a lot of men
i think it's an ingenious idea of Gordon
Keep all the men doped up and you won't need a Warden
Little Lois used to live with her mother Mable and father Fred
but there was a drive by shooting and now poor little Lois is dead
but it didn't matter how and why the young girl died
it matters that God is no longer our guide
Satan took his spot when people believed the Lord was dead
at least that's what Tommy Tatola had said
you know Tommy who's somehow into both the mafia and jails
and there's always being a hit man when all else fails
But Tommy's brother went a completely opposite way
he's down south murdering innocent African Americans with the K.K.K.
