U.D.O.
Vendetta
[Verse 1]
Whiskey was forbidden
Money from the hand
Deadly prohibition
Corruptive layerman
Judges in the pockets
Of the families
The east side and the west side
The river stands between

[Pre-Chorus]
Priests and hitmen hail the old god
Money makes you free

[Chorus]
It's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta

[Verse 2]
The Thompson and the casket
The rosaries 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
[Pre-Chorus]
Priests and hitmen hail the old god
Money makes you free

[Chorus]
It's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
Oh, it's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
Oh, it's a vendetta

[Verse 3]
Money for extortion
The skimming from the top
Godfathers and lieutenants
The massive ruling mob
Easy girls and gambling
Paddy wagon meat
The backroom holy masses
Forgiving dirty deeds

[Pre-Chorus]
Priests and hitmen hail the old god
Money makes you free

[Chorus]
It's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
Oh, it's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
Oh, it's a vendetta, vendetta
It's a vendetta, vendetta
