[Verse 1]
She's a murderer
But who planted the seed?
The pastor baptised her
But the deed he could not clean
The father tried to be a good man
And the mother kept her child
[Chorus]
He cried and begged and wept
As she pierced the knife through his heart
But who could blame the child
To cast the first stone?
Oh, now she's a murderer
Now she's a murderer
[Verse 2]
She was always looking
For a way out, not in
The church became her prison
For her, it only held sin
She cried, "Daddy, why am I so sad?
I've never done nothing wrong"
He said, "You got the blood of an evil man
But you've got to stay strong"
[Chorus]
She watched as he cried and begged and wept
As she pierced the knife through his heart
But who could blame the child
To cast the first stone?
Oh, now she's a murderer
Now she's a murderer
[Verse 3]
She cried, "Daddy, why am I so sad?
I've never done nothing wrong"
He said, "You got the blood of an evil man
But you've got to stay strong"
Strong, strong, strong
[Bridge]
Jesus is my Buddha
And Buddha is Muhammad
And Buddha is my Jesus
And nothing will divide us
[Chorus]
He cried and begged and wept
As she pierced the knife through his heart
But who could blame the child
To cast the first stone?
Oh, to cast the first stone
Oh, now she's a murderer
Now she's a murderer
Murderer was written by Inflo & Luke Pritchard.
Murderer was produced by Inflo.
According to Luke Pritchard;
I love this tune. It’s really a bit of storytelling. We just wrote it, sort of set a scene. And it’s got a real looseness to the recording. I really enjoyed the fact that we just focused on harmonies, we didn’t really overthink this one, we didn’t try and layer too much...
