God Is A Bullet 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 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, y'all

(Shoot)

Gone forever in a trigger slip

Well, it could have been

It could have been your brother

(Shoot)

Shoot straight

(Shoot)

Shoot to kill, 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 picking on me

Well, I'm a high school grad, I'm over five-foot-three

I'll get a badge and a gun and I'll join the P.D.

They'll see

He didn't have 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, sad, yes, sad

(Shoot)

Shoot straight

(Shoot)

From the hip, y'all

(Shoot)

It's all gone in a trigger slip

Well, it could have been

It could have been your mother

(Shoot)

Shoot straight

(Shoot)

Shoot to kill, y'all

Blame each other, blame yourself

You know, God is a bullet

Have mercy on us everyone

(Shoot)

Shoot straight

(Shoot)

From the hip, y'all

(Shoot)

Gone forever in a trigger slip

Well, it could have been

It could have been your mother

(Shoot)

John Lennon

(Shoot)

Dr. King, yeah

Harvey Milk, and all for goddamn nothing

God is a bullet

Have mercy on us everyone

God is a bullet

Have mercy on us everyone.
