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 shoot straight shoot from the hip yeah shoot

You're all gone forever in a trigger slip

But it could have been

It could have been your brother

Shoot shoot straight shoot shoot to kill 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 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 PD

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 thirty long years so that they give him another chance

And it's sad sad it's sad

Shoot shoot straight shoot from the hip yeah shoot

You're all gone in a trigger slip

But it could have been it could have been your mother

Shoot shoot straight shoot shoot to kill yeah

Blame each other let's blame yourselves

You know God is a bullet

Have mercy on us everyone

Shoot shoot straight shoot through the hip yeah shoot

You're gone forever in a trigger slip

Well it could have been it could have been your mother

Shoot John Lennon shoot doctor king and four innocent guys

Goddamn nothing

God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone

God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone
