Bilingual
I tore the pages off the book
To hide the money I had took
Somebody said - hey, I won't tell
That's if you cut me in as well
So it was blackmail
Where there's a conscience it can't fail
It was blackmail
That's when your heart and soul's for sale
Blackmail
I paid the money for a year or so
Until the day came, I said no
A man came round and pulled a gun
Looked like he'd kill me just for fun
I said, "now, listen fool, 'cause I repent
And I won't pay you one more cent"
I'll pay my debt to society
And fool the police a guilty plea
'Cause it was blackmail
Where there's a conscience it can't fail
It was blackmail
I they find out I'll go to jail
Hey hey hey
Blackmail
Hey, it was blackmail
You pay the money, take the choice
Hey, it was black mail
