Murder By Death - Until Morale Improves, The Beatings Will Continue Lyrics






I walked the road from Tucson to San Antonio with the smell of blood on my breath.

Ninety days of sweat and dirt feels like one night when you've got nothing left.

'til there's nothing left to do but die.

Buckshot is my bread, and I'll drink whiskey instead of water 'cause I can't stand to be sober in this place.

Your hands on my face every step of the way, tryin' to peel away the pain.

I'll drink whiskey instead of water.

  5. C.... R....

    What kind of genre is this?

  6. a.... ....

    I always listen this song when I'm hella wasted and sad. Just like right now.
    Thank you, MBD. I love you, guys. You make me happy with your music.

  7. t.... �....

    I'm getting some Highly Suspect vibes from this

  8. J.... G....

    Buckshot is my brand; I'll drink whiskey instead

    J.... G....

    Bread, not brand.

  9. T.... ....

    Just found an old mp3 player at my parent's from probably 9 years ago. This was the first song that played when I turned it on.

  10. A.... ....

    Somehow their music reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's novels, especially What will survive... And In bocca al lupe.

  11. D.... G....

    I love this album, as well as "In Bocca Al Lupe"  This is not a recent album.  Love it now, and I loved it 10 years ago.

  12. A.... L....

    Now that is what a true Devil should do. He lets you hunt him for 30 years and then, when you return to your home, he makes your sweet love kill you. Take note Hollywood.

  13. D.... ....

    This is great.Whenever I get drunk I always want to listen to this song... There is something there I can't explain.

    D.... ....

    +Jonathan Plotnick spring break 1999 & feugo are my drinkin' MbD tunes lol if i had to choose only a couple

    D.... ....

    +Diock1000 Well said, me too. Cheers!

    D.... ....

    I know what you mean. Whiskey and murder by death just go hand and hand

    D.... ....

    Me too. 100%.

  14. M.... B....

    Joshua Tree...them play Harriet and Pappy's???

  15. J.... C....

    @almosthuman8 to be fair my chemical romance was a much different band back then. Both bands went on to larger labels, it was called eyeball records and no papa roach was not on it, but a lot of good bands were

  16. h.... w....

    this and killbot 2000, all time favorite MBD songs. 

  17. W.... D....

    Yessss I just heard this song for the first time in 5 years and still knew all the words haha love this band

  18. I.... ....

    I've loved these guys since...  03:57 seconds ago .  not bad for a very old song/video.

  19. K.... G....

    love these guys have since 06

  20. D.... R....

    32 now muhahaha

  21. D.... R....

    yeah when I read that I flipped my shit...having heard this album so many times and not realizing that...

  22. d.... ....

    They almost always play this at their shows. Classic mbd.

  23. G.... D....

    This is THE most original band of the past many many years.

    Not to mention Adam and Sarah are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

  24. �.... ....

    Great song, I found it randomly. The melody at 0:56 reminds me so much of the piano outro of Faith No More's Epic.

  25. D.... B....

    Badass great mix

  26. W.... H....

    Oh, the times I've gotten drunk off bourbon listening to this song.

  27. d.... ....

    and then there's the song "The Devil in Mexico" by Murder By Death which features the singer of My Chemical Romance.

  28. S.... E....

    Such a perfect song. Can't stop listening for years.

  29. m.... ....

    ... and then there's me loving both My Chemical Romance and Murder by Death. :(

  30. m.... ....

    i think the world needs more people like you to replace trolls.

  31. Q.... ....

    me an hour ago-"well im gonna open a jack daniels and see where it takes me."
    it took me here XD

  32. C.... ....

    bahahaha thats great. I find it weird that The #12 Looks Like You is in the related videos haha same record company I guess.

  33. i.... ....

    LOLz at irony

  34. J.... P....

    i lost my old iPod with this song on it. thanks you tube, you saved the day :)

  35. T.... S....

    1000 likes now

  36. D.... ....

    Sooooooooooooo cool

  37. S.... S....

    @xBinaryxSoulx what a perfect place to see them in, New Mexico. I still haven't got a chance =X

  38. m.... ....

    Love this song! Definitely my fav. Beautiful voice!

  39. s.... ....

    sounds like a mantra for senior leadership in the military... I want this album

    -ssgt r. p. coleman
    usaf mafb mt

  40. m.... ....

    I remember buying this CD way back at my place of employment and expecting something heavy because of the band's name, then I put the CD in and listened to it. Needless to say, my mind was blown forever.

  41. B.... ....

    BUCKSHOT!

  42. T.... ....

    @BrotherBadSeed
    Yeah man, Whitmore kicks some serious ass.

  43. t.... ....

    i will always love Murder by Death forever no matter what. <3

  44. M.... ....

    saw them in 2004 live playing this entire album, and tracks from when they were still called Little Joe Gould.. one of my all time favorites

  45. n.... ....

    @GLM8056 not really. since they arnt signed to a major label they have way more controll of what they do.

  46. g.... ....

    I would be drinking whiskey listening to this song... haha

  47. j.... ....

    Just cant get into the new stuff, wish they wouldn't have changed their style. Saw em live back when this album came out and it was awesome

  48. B.... ....

    Hey I'll drink whiskey instead of water with him anyday hahaha..

  49. O.... ....

    @daniellements make that 16 (it wasnt me :D)

    now this comment has 8 thumbs up

  50. R.... ....

    They had a keyboardist last year at Asbury Lanes when I saw'em.

  51. L.... ....

    I wish they would have continued writing music the way they sounded on this album. I loved Like The Exorcist, but more Break Dancing, but this album was just incredible. I swear I listened to it for about a year and a half straight. In Bocca Al Lupo was good. Some songs sounded kind of like Johnny Cash-ish, and some sounded kind of pirate-y. I haven't been able to get into their newer albums nearly as much, though.

  52. j.... ....

    I loved this band before he changed his voice and became a johnny cash impersonator

  53. D.... A....

    15 people will receive continued beatings.

  54. B.... ....

    @soothsayer1985 Actually the singer from My Chemical Romance sings on the first track of this album Devil in Mexico, don't get me wrong I don't listen to them either, just saying, maybe that's why it pops up. The mighty William Elliott Whitmore sings on this song, if you haven't heard check him out, he's great, but don't expect it to sound like this, 'cause it's way different. He's the only artist I've seen live more times than MbD.

  55. S.... ....

    They haven't had the keyboardist for years though, unfortunately :( He left to finish his art degree.

  56. S.... ....

    @SephiRaziel They've gone a little bit back to that in Good Morning Magpie.

  57. M.... L....

    @LovePunchesYouHard

    because its an ironic title and its fucking amazing. leave it alone .

  58. D.... Z....

    @terminatorgir They're a hell of a lot better live. You should see 'em, I say. The tickets were cheap enough over here. The country comes out a little bit more live, but in a good way. Like Cash-reminiscent, maybe, but with more rock 'n such.

  59. F.... ....

    @soothsayer1985 a lot of people would say the same thing about this band. im one of those people. they arent the worst but they are nothing special

  60. s.... ....

    Makes me sick that when you pull up a Great band like Murder by Death, shitty bands like my chemical romance and papa roach get thrown into the thumb nails on the right as if they are similar.... ugggghhhhh.. gotta puke now

  61. A.... ....

    @ZombinaVonTease13 They used to be on the same label as MCR. I can't say for sure if Papa Roach was on it or not. I'm glad they left it, personally.

  62. A.... ....

    @LovePunchesYouHard Named after a classic comedy/murder mystery movie. (If that's what you're asking.)

  63. L.... ....

    "murder by death" ?
    why

    L.... ....

    sometimes thats just how it happens ;o

  64. B.... R....

    So the suggestions have my chemical romance, afi, papa roach.. Is it bad that these bands suck.. what are they trying to say and MBD?

  65. S.... B....

    probably my favorite band of all time. southern turn of the century gothic rock. you won't find anything like it out there. if you like this, listen to it all. they don't have a bad song.

  66. S.... ....

    One of the best rock bands of our time

  67. p.... ....

    really really good melodies in this song

  68. r.... ....

    @Cobi321 I can't tell if you're on drugs or if you need to start doing them...

  69. c.... ....

    the fuck is with the suggestions?

  70. D.... B....

    @max888123 wow, you are really cool.

  71. g.... g....

    I am the only 14 year old who knows this band along with Jeff Buckley. At least in south Carolina

  72. D.... V....

    band name made me think it was gonna be like screamo or something, still alright music though =D

  73. X.... L....

    @kelsibluegurl smell of BLOOD on my breath : /

  74. K.... ....

    did he say "smell of blunt on my breath" at like 0:36 ?? i hope he did! :D lol

  75. S.... ....

    i thought this would be fucking deathcore

  76. c.... ....

    I used to like this band a LONG time ago, I just decided that I would check it out again to see what it sounded like; and I gotta say, it's pretty good!

  77. N.... W....

    I met those guys, they are so goddamn awesome!

  78. G.... D....

    I've seen people mix whiskey with water. I was outraged.

  79. N.... ....

    @shreder350 try the night by morphine,guess you`ll like it

  80. B.... ....

    Love the lead singers voice. Anybody else think he looks a bit like Ringo Starr?

  81. H.... ....

    I'm obsessed with this song

  82. m.... ....

    @Gungrand yah you havent expeirenced murder by death unless youve seen them live ive seen them over 15 times and they never get old

  83. L.... H....

    @jaudind or your toilet. i usually have to pee after i fuck someone in the ass.

  84. L.... H....

    @jaudind oh. maybe it was your cousin, then? i don't remember. i just know i now must deal with the syphilis she gave me.

  85. L.... H....

    @jaudind so was you sister.

  86. L.... H....

    @kjdksf yeah, you'll probably die at a young age.

  87. m.... ....

    I love this band and this song is one of their best, but the video is horrible. Doesn't do it justice in my opinion.

  88. p.... ....

    I can't begin to fathom why your comment was marked as Spam.

    Some fucking people, man.

    Aside: Drinking whiskey while listening to this song is so fucking godly.

  89. D.... S....

    i've been catching them live since the exorcist days. I really really miss the original line up, but they still put on a strong show.

    alex the drummer just kinda... i dont know, towards the end just lacked the intensity, which is unfortunate.

  90. D.... S....

    HOT JESUS FUCKING SHIT TWAT YACHTS OF DOUCE CANOES
    do i miss the original line up.

  91. L.... M....

    shes everyones <3

  92. L.... M....

    its different the music is a bit more emotional and thought provoking unlike a lot of what you hear today.

  93. e.... ....

    I like this,but it isnt my genre. I think you need to learn who your talking to,I hate immature people.

  94. B.... ....

    wow... all i can say is.
    if you have to ask, you'll never get it.
    go listen to some soulja boi....
    yeesh

  95. e.... ....

    just curious,what about this band is good? Im not even trying to bash,I like this song,but ive never been into this type of music.

  96. J.... L....

    Indeed :)

  97. S.... ....

    try... "coming home"

    personally that is one of their best songs.

  98. P.... ....

    cool vid but bad name

  99. X.... ....

    I will.

    Thanks!
