Whisky was forbidden
Money from the hand
Deadly prohibition [bad word] layerman
Judges in the pockets
Of the families
The east side
And the westside
The river stands between
Priests and hitmen
Hail the old god
Money makes you free
It's a vendetta - vendetta
It's a vendetta, ...
The thompson
And the casket
The roseries and beads
The head scarved
Veiling mothers
The grandmas
On their knees
The smacking of bambinos
The kissing on the cheek
The meatball and the mincer
Speak-easies on the streets
Priests and hitmen, ...
It's a vendetta, ...
Money for extortion
The skimming from the top
Godfathers and lieutenants
The [bad word] mob
Easy girls and gambling
Paddy waggon meat
The backroom holy masses
Forgiving dirty deeds
Priests and hitmen, ...
It's a vendetta, ...
