Citizen Cope - Bullet And A Target Lyrics
Mr.Dali LamasAnother sister's shootin' heroin tomorrowAmputees in FreetownSierra Leone'sThe church wasn't honestThe state put the youth in a harnessCreatin' hostility among usTeacher said no collegeStill the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commasPeople wanna bomb usMore people gotta scatter and run from usYou can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and AdonisBut what you've done hereIs put yourself between a bullet and a targetAnd it won't be long beforeYou're pulling yourself awayBut what you've done hereIs put yourself between a bullet and a targetAnd it won't be long beforeYou're pulling yourself awayI've been knowing her for yearsI've been seeing her for years she got dark, dark wavy hairWith a voice like she just don't careShe got a skirt with a halter topShe's got a dad who never gave a *****She drink a beer with a malted shotShe got knocked up in a pickup truckBut she got engaged when she was nineteenTo this dude who was acting insaneHad a .45 that he always cleanedSaid one day one day one too many daysNow she ducked and she ran awayNever to be heard from, never to be seenI check the cover of a magazineI'm just wondering how, just wondering howBut what you've done hereIs put yourself between a bullet and a targetAnd it won't be long beforeYou're pulling yourself away
