Standing guilty of a naked crime,
got your fingers in everybody's pie,
Creature comforts for the living dead
with hearts intoxicated,
Souls for sale, yeah, these guns for hire,
Jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire,
Well, let me make one thing perfectly clear: well, the winner takes nothing, and the buck stops here.

Lightning strikes,
Shake them down,
No way in and no way out,
Every dogs got his day,
It's a matter of time before he's gonna pay.

Caught up in a slave trade,
Slave trader's got them again,
Got them in a slave trade,
No, they can't escape your web.

Grasping at those shadows,
In this paradise of fools
you're gonna pay through the nose,
When time's the most precious thing
a man can spend
and a bankrupt life finally meets it's end,
It's the law of the jungle; it's take or be took,
Better get yours quick, by hook or by crook,
Well, the piper's calling, pay the devil his dues,
He's gonna make you an offer
that you can't refuse.

Lightning strikes,
Shake them down,
No way in and no way out,
Every dog's got his day,
It's a matter of time before he's gonna pay.

Caught up in a slave trade,
Slave trader's got them again,
Got them in a slave trade,
No, they can't escape your web,
Caught up in a slave trade,
Slave trader's got them again,
Got them in a slave trade,
No, they can't escape your web.

Left, left, left, right, left,
Left, left, left, right, left, (trader's coming, slave trader's coming)
Left, left, left, right, left, (trader's coming, trader's coming)
Left, left, left, right, left. (trader's coming, slave trader's coming)

Caught up in a slave trade,
Slave trader's got them again,
Got them in a slave trade,
No, they can't escape your web,
Caught up in a slave trade,
Slave trader's got 'em again,
Got 'em in a slave trade,
No, they can't escape your web.

Slave trade,
Slave trader's got them again,
Slave trade,
Can't escape your web,
