Bruce Springsteen - American Skin (41 Shots) - Live at Madison Square Garden lyrics

(41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots) 41 shots and we'll take that ride 'Cross this bloody river to the other side 41 shots cut through the night You're kneeling over his body in the vestibule praying for his life Is it a gun ? Is it a knife ? Is it a wallet ? This is your life It ain't no secret, it ain't no secret No secret, my friend, you can get k**ed just for living in your American skin (41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots) 41 shots, Lena gets her son ready for school She says : 'On these streets, Charles, you've got to understand the rules' 'If an officer stops you, promise you'll always be polite' 'And that you'll never ever run away, promise Mama you'll keep your hands in sight' Is it a gun ? Is it a knife ? Is it a wallet ? This is your life It ain't no secret, it ain't no secret No secret, my friend, you can get k**ed just for living in your American skin (41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots) Is it a gun ? Is it a knife ? Is it in your heart ? Is it in your life ? It ain't no secret, it ain't no secret It ain't no secret 41 shots and we'll take that ride 'Cross this bloody river to the other side 41 shots, got my boots caked in this mud We're baptized in these waters and in each other's blood Is it a gun ? Is it a knife ? Is it a wallet ? This is your life It ain't no secret, it ain't no secret No secret, my friend, you can get k**ed just for living in your You can get k**ed just for living in your You can get k**ed just for living in your American skin (41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots) (41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots) (41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots) (41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots, 41 shots)
