Generate meaning
1
Ben grew up to be the butcher not by choice, it's just the lot in life he found
2
But he makes a decent living, feeds his family and the people of the town
3
But there's no dreams brought to fruition, just a gradual attrition
4
The decayed scraps of ambition he once carved by hand
5
But there's no time for regrets, it's not as bad as it appears
6
He's got a lucrative career but he never gets the bloodstains off his hands
7
A killer frequents bars on Ladies' Night with a steely-eyed command
8
But he ain't out cruising hookers and he ain't no shady looker, he's a charming, handsome man
9
His voice says 'ladies' but his mind is thinking 'bitches'
10
But his pitch is just too much for most of them to withstand
11
He tells them jokes and he gets them all in stitches
12
And it goes off without hitches 'till he tries to get the bloodstains off his hands
13
Nothing good comes easy
14
Isn't that what you would have me to believe
15
For every positive endeavor there is a dark side we must weather
16
You will see, yeah you will see
17
All the coroners and corpsmen and the slaughterhouse foremen
18
It's just there job five days a week, please try and understand
19
It's their lot to get through it, they know someone's got to do it
20
And try not to misconstrue it when they try to wash the bloodstains off their hands
21
Now she's had seven years of happiness with a boy she's always claimed to have adored
22
And there's fewer who've been truer but as of late she finds herself a little bored
23
She tells him she still loves him and has only good thoughts of him
24
And the times they've had and hopes that it'll help him understand
25
When she runs her knife straight through him, it's the only way to do them
26
She's the winner of the game but she'll never get the bloodstains off her hands
27
In the end, they all fall just the same but she'll never get the bloodstains off her hands
28
Off her hands
