He's a curse, he's a brand
Sending shock waves all over the land
He's a perv, he's a myth
'Cause a shadow of him is all there is

Not a name, not a face
Yet another atrocity case
All the pain, all the grit
We love misery, don't you admit

Murder and he goes on further
Royalty or burglar, runnin' away
Crime scenes lookin' like a bad dream
You can hear them prey scream, "Surrender!"

Have you heard what people are saying?
Someone's out there and slaying
Who? It's Jack the Ripper
Watch your back, there's blood on the pillow
Stab wounds markin' the killer
Who? It's Jack the Ripper

Set him up, make it stop
People shout but they can't get enough
They can't wait, speculate
Who he is, what about all the hate

For the lack of a fact
Called him after the Union Jack
Like a friend of the land
Like a hero the country has named

Grifter acting like a drifter
Playing like a trickster, gettin' away
Goose bumps, stay home when the night comes
Better turn the lights on, disaster

Have you heard what people are saying?
Someone's out there and slaying
Who? It's Jack the Ripper
Watch your back, there's blood on the pillow
Stab wounds markin' the killer
Who? It's Jack the Ripper

He seems to grow and up his game
With every victim that he claims

Have you heard what people are saying?
Someone's out there and slaying
Who? It's Jack the Ripper

Have you heard what people are saying?
Someone's out there and slaying
Who? It's Jack the Ripper
Watch your back, there's blood on the pillow
Stab wounds markin' the killer
Who? It's Jack the Ripper

If Scotland Yard released his name
The whole wide world would go insane
Jack's better not to be exposed
That's what they call damage control

Have you heard what people are saying?
Someone's out there and slaying
Who? It's Jack the Ripper
