I Had To Do It — текст песни (Graveblankets)

I had to do it, I had to do it I had no choice
I had to do it, what would I tell my boy?
I had to do it, I haven`t found work since June
There`s food and the medicine and Christmas is coming soon. I had to do it.

Now don`t you start talking about morality
You`ll only start me thinkin` about my mortality
`cause it`s so easy to judge me when you don`t really think much of me
and you`ve all got plenty of money

I had to do it, I already made the plan
I had to do it, I hired every man
In my opinion crime is a sacred cow
Should I wait forever or take my compensation now? I had to do it.

Now everything was goin` so smoothly
til I figured out the crew I hired were just using me
so I gave them the slip and I unbuttoned my lip
cause I know when to quit

I can`t undo what I`ve done but if I`m good could I please see my son?

I had to do it, I walked away with just some scars
I had to do it, I`m safer behind bars
The crew are resting they`re all taking the big sleep
A promise is something you should always keep

I had to do it
