Lyrics & meaning of 'MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE by Steve Christopher

Murder in the First Degree :

Wide open spaces
so far away
too many faces
insist on getting their own way
People controlling,
like I'm under a spell
difficult breathing,
forced to live in a shell
CHORUS
Why do we let the suits survive and hide amongst the trees
When will we learn not to let them hide so they murder in the first degree
Let's not be victims,
stand up for what is right
lets stand together
put the bad to right
Guitar Solo
Don't let them fool you
into thinking you were wrong
they hold us to ransom
they don't want us to be strong
CHORUS
*Wide open spaces
so far away
too many faces
and they murder in the first degree*
*REPEAT*

The lyrics to "Murder" are based on the fact that "money men" and their vassels, are the harbingers of misery. The rules for banking seems to be make as much money as you can to the detriment of everyone else. As the current "Credit Crunch" displays only too well. when the banks get it wrong, even those they have bled dry are made to bleed more.
