Citizen Cope - Bullet And A Target lyrics

Mr.Dali Lamas Another sister's shootin' h**n tomorrow Amputees in Freetown Sierra Leone's The church wasn't honest The state put the youth in a harness Creatin' hostility among us Teacher said no college Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas People wanna bomb us More people gotta scatter and run from us You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis But what you've done here Is put yourself between a bullet and a target And it won't be long before You're pulling yourself away But what you've done here Is put yourself between a bullet and a target And it won't be long before You're pulling yourself away I've been knowing her for years I've been seeing her for years She got dark, dark wavy hair With a voice like she just don't care She got a skirt with a halter top She's got a dad who never gave a f** She drinks a beer with her mom 'til dawn She got knocked up in a pickup truck But she got engaged when she was nineteen To this dude who was acting insane Had a .45 that he always cleaned Said one day one day one too many days Now she ducked and she ran away Never to be heard from, never to be seen I check the cover of a magazine I'm just wondering how, just wondering how But what you've done here Is put yourself between a bullet and a target And it won't be long before You're pulling yourself away
