Concrete Blonde - God Is a Bullet (live) lyrics

This is for the Los Angeles police department! 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 cut down By some teenage car chase, war out of bounds It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun Sad (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) From the hip, ya'll (Shoot) Gone forever in a trigger slip Well, it could have been It could have been your brother (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) Shoot to k**, yeah Blame each other, well, blame yourself You know, God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone They're gonna call me sir, they'll all stop f**ing with me Well, I'm a high school grad, I'm only five-foot-three I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D They'll see He 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 a thirty long years 'fore they'll give him another chance And it's sad (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) From the hip, ya'll (Shoot) It's all gone in a trigger slip Well, it could have been Could have been your mother (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) Shoot to k**, yeah Blame each other, blame yourself You know, God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone (Shoot) Shoot straight (Shoot) From the hip, ya'll (Shoot) Gone forever in a trigger slip Well, it could have been It could have been your brother (Shoot) John Lennon (Shoot) Dr. King And for innocent guys, goddamn nothing God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone God is a bullet Have mercy on us everyone
