[Verse 1]

Here's the story about a trained killer

Father was an ex-heavyweight

Tried to make it as a pro hitter

Friday night he'd fight for the gate

[Chorus]

"Gino" he would tell his son

"This whole world is one big war

You gotta step on them before they step on you my boy"

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

"Come on Gino do it for me" (My boy)

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

"No no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

[Verse 2]

"Put the fear of blowing their heads off

That's the only way to survive

If they think you're showing a weakness

Gonna hang you up boy to dry"

[Chorus]

"Gino" he would tell his son

"This whole world is one big war

You gotta step on them before they step on you my boy"

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

"Come on Gino do it for me" (My boy)

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

"No no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

[Bridge]

The ink is dried up yeah, the pen is no good

We're back to the sword (Back to the sword), yeah

[Verse 3]

Poor kid, poor Gino

He's trying hard but he can't play the part

Poor kid, poor Gino

Don't want to break his poor Daddy's heart

[Chorus]

"Gino" he would tell his son

"This whole world is one big war

You gotta step on them before they step on you my boy"

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

"Come on Gino do it for me" (My boy)

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)

"Oh no Daddy it's not for me" (My boy)
