Closed Circuits - Ciudad Juárez Lyrics

That woman that was bleeding
She said you were a factory man
Running off the lists of numbers
Washing clean both of your hands
That woman that was screaming
She said you were a dangerous man
Keeping track of all the figures
Keeping quiet the ones who ran

But you supply it if it's wanted
Neverthe less
You can supply it if it's wanted
You will supply if it it's wanted
Is it a life or a profit

That girl standing under streetlight
Said you were a penitent man
Taking care to make your offerings
Making sure they're paid on time
That boy standing at the window
Said you were a powerful man
Wanted you to give him favour
Heard you might run this land

And you'll supply it if it's wanted
You'll supply if it's wanted
If there's a deal to be made
You will supply what is wanted
Put another number on a body
Is it a life or a profit

Heard you were a factory man
Heard you were a government man
Heard you were a gangster man
Heard you were a law man
