Bruce Springsteen - Murder Incorporated Lyrics






Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow
Out on the street your chances are zero
Take a look around you (come on now)
It ain't too complicated
You're messin' with Murder Incorporated

Now you check over your shoulder everywhere that you go
Walkin' down the street there's eyes in every shadow
You better take a look around you (come on now)
That equipment you got's so outdated
You can't compete with Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated

So you keep a little secret down deep inside your dresser drawer
For dealing with the heat you're feelin' out on the killin' floor
No matter where you step you feel you're never out of danger
So the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated-snub-nose-thirty-two
I heard you

You got a job downtown, man that leaves your head cold
Everywhere you look life ain't got no soul
That apartment you live in feels like it's just a place to hide
When you're walkin' down the street you won't meet no one eye to eye
The cops reported you as just an another homicide
But I can tell that you were just frustrated
From living with Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated
Murder Incorporated

  9. P.... J....

    Awesome.Up there with Tom Petty.

  10. G.... A....

    Many artists would base their career on that

  11. D.... S....

  12. O.... M....

    Murder Incorporated was the name for a contract killing organization started in the 1930's by Albert Anastasia. It was basically the enforcement arm for the New York Mafia.
    Bruce grew up in Jersey in the 60's and 70's. Back then and there, the Mafia was more in charge than the government. This song is about what it is like to live under the mob's heel, to run afoul of them, to run, get bumped off, and then have the police not prosecute the case to hard because they're under the Mafia's pay.

  13. E.... C....

    One of Bruce’s best decisions was bringing back Van Zandt and retaining Nils

  14. W.... G....

    rock n roll whoooooooo eeeeeee

  15. A.... M....

    Boss is always right

  16. b.... ....

    Straight ahead, hard grinding rock and roll..with a message. Sort of reminiscent of Neil Young/Crazy Horse.

  17. S.... D....

    NJ are you listening?
    They're back.......
    The mafia drugrunners murderers....
    Drs killed because they wont push poison.

  18. R.... T....

    is springsteen rock or country rock...

    R.... T....

    country rock?

    R.... T....

    @bossfan49 He's shitting us right??

    R.... T....

    @Markus Behringer Perhaps he's asking because Bruce will soon be releasing a country-western influenced album "Western Stars". (He's released 3 singles so far...haven't listened to them yet) But, I mean...come on. Look at the guy's catalog...definitely a silly question.

    R.... T....

    @bossfan49 Ahh, ok. That makes more sense then.

  19. Q.... D....

    Mizzica... Anche il Boss è invecchiato...

  20. S.... S....

    incomparable beauty in every way ! <3

  21. f.... ....

    Clarence is the man

  22. J.... B....

    Strangely enough this song reminds me of Cocaine by Eric Clapton :)

  23. A.... A....

    Seen him in concert twice,he is superb,love his music,this track,the bass,the sound its so strong.

  24. H.... M....

    Don't really care much for Bruce but am liking this song!

  25. d.... ....

    Miss you, my friend. RIP, Big Man...

  26. k.... r....

    el jefe

  27. C.... E....

    Wow!!!!!

  28. A.... j....

    its this ....

  29. D.... R....

    This is one of my favorite Bruce Springsteen song next to Human Touch and Tunnel Of Love

  30. J.... V....

    guy wrote a bunch of unforgettable stuff

  31. C.... H....

    "So you keep a little secret down deep inside your dresser drawer
    For dealing with the heat you're feelin'- out on the killin' floor
    No matter where you step you feel you're never out of danger

    So, the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated-snub-nose-thirty-two
    WELL, I heard you got a job downtown, man that leaves your head cold !"

    This is JUST SCREAMING purgatory, doom, and destruction.....

    He fucking kills it.

  32. M.... D....

    The E Street band and Murder Inc: Both included a bunch of Italian-American and Jewish members, and both put out a lot of hits!

  33. I.... R....

    To make such a powerful rock and at low revolutions is one of the virtues of bruce. He did it also in the lp of darkness and in many other great songs. He is the best !!

    I.... R....

    Incomparable !! I love Bruce !!

  34. I.... K....

    What is Nicholas Cage doing there #4:04 playing the drums?😳 Not many can touch Bruce talent wise, if any.

    I.... K....

    That's Danny Federici playing the keyboards :D But I like your comment :-)

  35. D.... o....

    Best 🎸 player!

  36. s.... ....

    such an under rated track - love it, my fave

  37. D.... o....

  42. S.... H....

    Have seen Springsteen several times, but always in arenas or stadiums. In a club like that must be incredible.

    S.... H....

    It is unreal in a club

    S.... H....

    I have seen him at the stone pony when he just showed up unreal it can not be described

    S.... H....

    Steven Hodgson I caught Bruce at the stone pony one night ....was sitting at the end of the bar with his hat tucked low when all of a sudden he stood up grabbed a guitar and played a hour and 45 minute set

    Best 2 hours of my life

  43. C.... C....

    Danny Federrici RIP

  44. d.... ....

    Who ever edited this video - diserves an award. Great cuts my friend.

    d.... ....

    Film maker Jonathan Demme.

  45. S.... S....

    Ik ga uit mijn plaat nu

  46. S.... S....

    Super briljant

  47. S.... S....

  48. S.... S....

    Briljant

  55. F.... M....

    brilliant bruce springteen song

  56. M.... X....

    TBH I am not usually impressed with Bruce's music but this song is awesome :-)

  57. M.... D....

    the boss at his best.

  58. D.... M....

    Great work. Should be played more. Springsteen at his best!!

  59. G.... F....

    The boss.......

  60. �.... ....

    この曲を、ドナルド・トランプと安倍晋三に聴かせてやりたい!

  61. D.... C....

    Should have been the the opening song for the HBO's Sopranos...especially with Steven Van Zandt being playing a role in the show..

    D.... C....

    SO TRUE.

    D.... C....

    What was wrong with the opening theme to 'Sopranos'? It seemed perfect and so well threaded to the landscape being passed through, providing so much information and context for what viewers were about to see. The series included murders but was about corruption, arrogance, cynicism, greed and criminality as joint causes at work.

  62. t.... ....

    forgot how good this was

  63. a.... D....

    The United States Government is murder Inc. They don't give a shit about you unless you've got money that they can take. See the events of 911, then do your research. (That is if you have the power of deduction which most people don't due to their satisfaction with the smell of their own shit)

    a.... D....

    apothic D zz- - - zzzzzz

    a.... D....

    Hey Don Scotty, you stutter much? I cant understand zz---zzzzzz.  You should get that checked. You sound like an idiot. Or you should get yourself away from the keyboard. You might accidentally insult someone due to your handicap.

    a.... D....

    You're a great American

    a.... D....

    You first a******

    a.... D....

    I can't decide if your big or little Apothic d

  64. T.... H....

    1 of his best

  65. S.... ....

    Everybody was uninspired in the grunge era.

    S.... ....

    And since.

  66. E.... W....

    Amother great song here

  67. I.... n....

    Bravo!!

  68. W.... J....

    HET SPIJT ME BRUCE VAN DE OVERMOED IK BEN MOE EN WIL NAAR BED MORGEN GAAN WE WEER VERDER WOUTER JOANNES HENDRICK

  69. L.... D....

    I had to wait 25 years to finally see and hear the song "Murder Incorporated". it to me is some of his most passionate work. The beat, guitar licks/ solo and drumwork in conjunction with everything else-makes it a monster driving and action song.

  70. T.... R....

    Hell Yeah !!!

  71. j.... p....

    My favorite boss song, love patti to!!

    Max Weinberg: most underrated drummer in rock n' roll?

    @Sunspot Dawn Joan Jett?

    P.... ....

    The Mighty Max

    P.... ....

    Underrated according to whom?

    P.... ....

    Max reassured me after I was scared
    Then I was just plain terrified.yeah

    P.... ....

    Him and Bill Berry are the 2 most underrated drummers ever.

  76. A.... L....

    grazieeeeeeeeeeee

  77. R.... M....

    his best tune...

  78. P.... R....

    this song kills coming from a guy who's played metal all of his life and love's all music from Hagard to steely Dan and not particularly a boss fan but when a song is strong you just have to tip your hat!!!

  79. I.... V....

    RIP JONATHAN DEMME!

  80. M.... R....

    r.i.p Jonathan Demme

    M.... R....

  84. M.... D....

    brilliant song

  85. J.... *....

    THE BOSS .....

  86. B.... K....

    Not a huge fan of his, but just heard this for the first time on MTV classic. Great song! He should duet with Neil Young on this one.

  87. R.... F....

    The Boss is the best

  88. e.... h....

    Written in 1975 while watching Prime Cut with Lee Marvin. Followed by Dial M for murder on channel 36. The gold plated snub nosed 38 was in the Robb Report. The writing of a sixteen year old kid. It's not so cmplicated. Iron American Dream on YouTube. Share it. Take a ride across the promised land.

    e.... h....

    He wasn't sixteen in 1975...

  89. r.... a....

    Seth Rich is jammin out to this one right now with about 50 more departed souls thanks to Hillary and Bill.

    r.... a....

    Umm, what ??

    r.... a....

    "Drank the Koolaid" ?? The only person drinking anything around here, apparently is you. You know have no idea what you are talking about. Tell us genius, how is Bruce corrupt now?

    r.... a....

    The Clinton body count continues doesn't it Richard.

  90. E.... W....

    Brilliant Bruce Springsteen. Love 😍 the song so much. I have it on CD. Play it full 🌕 blast so good when you are driving

    E.... W....

    the fucking boss

    E.... W....

    Heck yeah. The Boss rocks The House

  91. w.... ....

    Hillary Clinton should play this song as her theme.

    w.... ....

    wildpartypeople LMAO

    w.... ....

    MG77 God bless PRESIDENT TRUMP, you losers. Trump campaigned for the votes of the salt-of-the-earth people Bruce Springsteen likes to sing about. Springsteen campaigned not for the votes of characters from his songs but for the votes of millionaires who pay him to write and tour those songs, company executives.

    w.... ....

    Mister Sarajevo 😂😂🤣🤣

    w.... ....

    @Magyar Dániel 👍👏👏👏👏❤

  92. T.... G....

    This song should have been left on the Born in the USA album.

  93. M.... ....

    I just saw him and the E-Street Band this weekend at Zürich. One of the best concert I'v seen.

  94. l.... ....

    Terrific

  95. A.... C....

    Without a doubt he nails it

  96. S.... C....

    what's Murder Incorporated about?

    S.... C....

    It's about the enforcement arm of the mafia in America.

    S.... C....

    +Michael Burke.Thanks. It's a great song saw it live.

    S.... C....

    @Steven Campbell Same. I went absolutely mental with it.

    S.... C....

    im not so sure its specifically JUST about the OLD mafia/Mrdr inc., think it refers much more to the general amount of armed violence in the usa, including the us military, and the paranoia and fear of crime it creates-its like saying lost in the flood is about a rain storm

    S.... C....

    well, the song was first recorded in '82 before its '95 release, '82 was one of the worst years in terms of violent crimes in the U.S including murders
