Concrete Blonde - God is a bullet - 2001 digital remaster lyrics

There's a green plaid jacket on the back of the chair It's like a moment frozen forever there Mom and dad had a lot of big plans for their little man So proud Mama's gone crazy 'cause her baby's got down By some teenage car chase war out of bounds It was the wrong place A wrong time, a wrong end of the gun, sing Shoot straight from the hip, yeah You're all gone in a trigger slip It could have been It could have been your brother Shoot straight, shoot to k**, yeah Blame each other, well, blame yourselves You know, God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone They're gonna call me sir, they'll all stop f**in' with me Well I'm a high school grad, I'm over 5 foot 3 I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D They'll see Didn't want to use the gun, they put in his hand But when the guy came at him, well he panicked and ran And it's thirty long years before they give him another chance And it's sad Shoot straight from the hip, yeah You're all gone in a trigger slip It could have been It could have been your brother Shoot straight, shoot to k**, yeah Blame each other, let's blame ourselves You know, God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone Shoot straight through the hip, yeah You're all gone in a trigger slip It could have been It could have been your brother John Lennon, Doctor King, Harvey Milk All for goddamn nothin' God is a bullet, have mercy on us everyone God is a bullet, have mercy on us everyone, oh, no no
