God Is a Bullet

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 shot down

By some teenage car chase war out of bounds

It was the wrong place, wrong time, wrong end of a gun

Sad

(Shot) Shoot straight (Shot) from the hip, yeah

(Shot) Gone forever in a trigger slip

Well, it could have been it, it could have been your brother

(Shot) Shoot straight, (Shot) shoot to kill, yeah

Well, 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 pickin' on me, well I'm a high school grad

I'm over five foot three

I got 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, it's sad

(Shot) Shoot straight (Shot) from the hip, yeah

(Shot) It's all gone in trigger a slip

Well, it could have been it, it could have been your mother

(Shot) Shoot straight, (Shot) shoot to kill, yeah

Blame each other, blame yourself

You know, God is a bullet, have mercy on us, everyone

(Shot) Shoot straight (Shot) from the hip, yeah

(Shot) All gone forever in a trigger slip

Well, it could have been it, it could have been your mother

(Shot) John Lennon, (Shot) Dr. King, Harvey Milk

They're gone for goddamn nothing

God is a bullet, have mercy on us, everyone

God is a bullet, have mercy on us, everyone
