A long time ago there was a nowhere boy
locked-down by prohibition
after moonshine no longer coy
but free from his inhibition
A mid-time ago there was a somewhere man
with something he wanted to prove
to himself, and the rest of the clan
he’d got nothing to lose
Once when I was alone, I saw how far I’d grown
to outlast the supporting cast, I had to think fast…. and act all on my own
A short-time ago there rose a hero
a super self-made Mafioso
who’d shot up the ranks from base zero
to top-ranking capo
I’m the Capo, di-tutti-Capi
Leader of the, Mafiosi
Boss of all bosses, you’ll see
I’ll rule from here to, Guadalupe.
Fear in the eyes of every man I meet
for those dear out working the street
under my command, on air-sea-land
I deal death with a flick of my hand
No room for mercy in this merciless business
where pity and remorse stand in your way
in the thirsty quest for power I confess
I became as filthy as the men I detest
