Bullet and a Target lyrics

Mr. Dali Lamas

Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow

Amputees in Freetown

Sierra Leone's

The church wasn't honest

The state put the youth in a harness

Creatin' hostility among us

Teacher said no college

Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas

People wanna bomb us

More people gotta scatter and run from us

You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis

But what you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pulling yourself away

But what you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pulling yourself away

I've been knowing her for years

I've been seeing her for years

She got dark, dark wavy hair

With a voice like she just don't care

She got a skirt with a halter top

She's got a dad who never gave a fuck

She drinks a beer with a malted top

She got knocked up in a pickup truck

But she got engaged when she was nineteen

To this dude who was acting insane

Had a .45 that he always cleaned

Said one day one day one too many days

Now she ducked and she ran away

Never to be heard from, never to be seen

I check the cover of a magazine

I'm just wondering how, just wondering how

But what you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pulling yourself away [4x]

A bullet and a target [4x]

Between a bullet and a target
