Lyric discussion by mimicry 

Cover art for Never Leave a Job Half Done lyrics by Pedro the Lion

You gotta listen to "Winners Never Quit" in its entirety to understand the context of this tune. The entire CD tells a story and this song merely describles one scene of it. A politician rigs votes so that he would win. His wife finds out about it (this is all detailed in "Mind Of Her Own") and threatens to tell the authorities. The politician doesn't dig that and so, logically I suppose, KILLS her.
