The Brotherhood - Dan Bull

Brotherhood

Dash back to the Renaissance

Like a racehorse

Mate I’ll slash your face off

Make sure that I’ll break your jaw

Like I break laws

Grateful that I gained the support of a new patron

Stationed in the papal states

But I take short breaks on days off

To take tours round Spain lakes or Naples

What, you wanna fight me?

Why didn’t you say so?

What are you thinking that I’m bringing these blades for

Flush with the weaponry

Yep I’ve got a lot

Atop of your neck is a terracotta pot

You wanna watch, it’s not going to topple off

Whoop, butterfingers

What a clot

Death comes sweet like I’m serving butterscotch

Let’s turn this up a notch

The brotherhood

Is our home

But it’s understood

That when in Rome

We do as the Romans do

Appropriate their culture

And then use it to ruin you

(Use it to ruin you, ruin you)

Half animal, half cannonball

Fired out of the prow of a man of war

Without the sound of gunpowder pounding

Prowling around veiled in the crowd around me

I smell a heap of trouble

So I’m clambering the rubble

Then I’m running from an alley to a tunnel

Like I’m Sally Gunnell

My genes are a museum

Look within, see what I’m seeing

From columns to Colosseum

I’m one of these hitmen

Whose victim isn’t gonna see 'em

As a policy I’m surreptitious

Polish anyone off becoming suspicious

Sophisticated enough to know

When I need to be thoroughly vicious

If I was you

I’d strap on a parachute

You never know who’s dropping in

From out the blue

Have you heard the way

The biggest birds of prey

Can take a baby away like an invertebrate?

With a steel spine

I’ve the nerve to say

That I’m a spider

Now finish up your curds and whey

The brotherhood

Is our home

But it’s understood

That when in Rome

We do as the Romans do

Appropriate their culture

And then use it to ruin you

The brotherhood

Is our home

But it’s understood

That when in Rome

We do as the Romans do

Appropriate their culture

And then use it to ruin you

(Use it to ruin you)
