Mantrap lyrics

[Verse 1]
They're always stealing off the land
The Earl has to make his final stand
Build a device to catch them all
I don't give a damn if they say they're poor

[Chorus]
If you get caught there's no going back
It's a man trap
The jaws of his baby tightly snap
Man trap

[Verse 2]
He's old and mean and he hates the world
He's wicked as sin, his mind is gnarled
He's got plenty but he doesn't share
Has to ask for help and he wouldn't dare

[Chorus]
If you get caught there's no going back
It's a man trap
The jaws of his baby tightly snap
Man trap

[Verse 3]
A wall heath man with his wife to keep
Did his duty and stole a sheep
Refused to grovel, he refused to beg
Stepped on the trigger and lost his leg
[Chorus]
If you get caught there's no going back
It's a man trap
The jaws of his baby tightly snap
Man trap

[Verse 4]
Deported abroad and is long since dead
The gamekeeper's found without his head
His body was torn like tissue paper
A hidden peg-leg found years later

[Chorus]
If you get caught there's no going back
It's a man trap
The jaws of his baby tightly snap
Man trap

[Outro]
The jaws of his baby tightly snap
It's a man trap
It has the power to break your back
Man trap
