"My Friend George"


	Read in the paper about a man killed with a sword
	and that made my think of my friend George
	People said the man was five foot six
	sounds like George with his killing stick

	Hey Bro. what's the word
	talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	Hey Bro. what's the word
	talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	You're talkin' 'bout My Friend George

	I knew George since he's eight
	I always thought that he was great
	Anything that George would do
	you know that I would do it too

	George liked music and George liked to fight
	he worked out in a downtown gym every night
	I'd spar with him when work has done
	we split lips but it was all in fun

	Hey Bro. what's the word
	talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	Hey Bro. what's the word
	talkin' 'bout My Friend George

	Next thing I hear George's got this stick
	and using it for more than kicks
	I see him down at Smalley's bar
	he was wired up, I tried to calm him down

	Avenge yourself he says to me
	avenge yourself for humanity
	Avenge yourself for the weak and the poor
	stick it to these guys fight through their heads

	Well, the fight is my music, the stick is my sword
	and you know that I love you, so please don't say a word
	Can't you gear the music playing, the anthem, it's my call
	and the last I seen of George was him running through the door

	I says, Hey Bro. what's the word
	talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	Hey Bro. what's the word
	you're talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	Talkin' 'bout My Friend George

	Hey Bro. what's the word
	you're talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	Hey Bro. what's the word
	what me saying 'bout My Friend George
	Hey Bro. what's the word
	hear you're talkin' 'bout My Friend George
	Hey Bro. what's the word
	I hear talkin' 'bout My Friend George
