Canary Lyrics

You've sold out the family
abused our generosity
now you repay our loyalty
by singing to the enemy, treachery!
a costa nostra boss as meat
give us your statement so we might feed
we'll give contractual guarantee
a new identity - for the face of the enemy

(won't you) sing canary, won't you sing for us
(you've got to help yourself, consider no-one else)
Sing! Canary, won't you sing for us
(we'd like to be your friends, protect you to the end)
Sing! Canary, won't you sing for us.

They've broken him, we've lost a trusted man
we must strike back, here is the plan.
through our grapevine we will make it clear
let all canaries live in fear, treachery!
(must never breath the air again)
a costa nostra boss as meat
give us your statement so we might feed
we'll give contractual guarantee
a new identity - for the face of the enemy

(won't you) sing canary, won't you sing for us
(you've got to testify the truth you can't deny)
Sing! Canary, won't you sing for us
(let your secrets bleed your safety guaranteed)
Sing! Canary, won't you sing for us.
You have bitten the hang that feeds - Judas!
once a brother, now an enemy
thought we'd forgotten, thought you were safe?
it's taken years but now we've found you
and will never sing again

a costa nostra boss as meat
you gave your statement so they could feed
you signed your own death warranty
and slow your death shall be.

(won't you) sing canary, won't you sing for us
(sold out the family, die for your treachery)
Sing! Canary, won't you sing for us
(betrayed the brotherhood, now you pay in blood)
Sing! Canary, won't you sing for us.
