  • 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 (oh yeah)
    Walkin' down the street there's eyes in every shadow (oh yeah)
    You better take a look around you (come on now)
    That equipment you got's so outdated (come on now)
    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 that you

    You got a job downtown, man, that leaves your head cold (oh yeah)
    Everywhere you look life ain't got no soul (oh yeah)
    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
    Now, the cops reported you as just another homicide
    But I can tell that you were just frustrated
    From living with Murder Incorporated
    (Murder) Incorporated
    Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated
    Come on now, baby
    Murder Incorporated
    Everywhere you turn, it's Murder Incorporated
    Come on now, darling Writer/s: Bruce Springsteen

  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 21st 1995, for the first time in seven years, Bruce Springsteen performed live with the E Street Band, the venue was the Tramps Nightclub in New York City...
    "Murder Incorporated" would be the first song performed in a thirteen song set...
    Thirty-five years earlier in 1960 Peter Falk would receive a 'Best Supporting Actor'* nomination for the movie 'Murder, Inc.'...
    * Lost to another Peter; Peter Ustinov for 'Spartacus'.
  • Aaron from Petaling Jaya, Selangor, MalaysiaIn my opinion, if Bruce actually fitted in this hit in the Born In The USA album. I think it will be without a doubt his 1st No.1 hit!
  • Matthew from Milford, MaCorporate assassinations... yeah, I can see it happening. You ever heard the phrase, "make it look like an accident"?
  • Ken from Oswego, IlDoes anything it may actually been referencing the actual Murder Inc of the 30's-40's mob era?
  • Reed from Hagerstown, Inan interesting side-note on my part: about a week ago, i was researching the death penalty online for a school project and at the same time, i was listening to my bruce springsteen's greatest hits that i had just ripped onto my computer. as i was reading about the death penalty, i double-clicked on the song 'secret garden', but instead, 'murder inc.' started playing. as it turns out, the song names had been switched when my computer ripped it and i didnt notice it until then. very ironic, huh?......
