Tie the rope
Pull it tight
Make sure the knot is placed just right
Don't matter if he's young or old
Just string him on up to that damn scaffold
Been a killer of a day
Killing all day
They come but never stay
I'll send em on their way
Sharpen the blade
Tough and clean
Make sure the fall is swift and mean
Don't matter where he's going or where he's been
Just bend him on down under that guillotine
Been a killer of a day
Killing all day
They come but never stay
I'll send em on their way
Push the button, flick the switch
Pull the lever and that's it
When he comes home, never says a word
But every night before bedtime he prays to the lord
Don't know if anyone is answering his prayers
But there's killing in the morning and he'll be there
Been a killer of a day
Killing all day
Been a killer of a day
Killing all day
Been a killer of a day
Killing all day
They come but never stay
He'll send em on their way
Push the button, flick the switch
Pull the lever and that's it
