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.
Shoot straight from the hip
Gone forever in a trigger slip
You know, it could have been
It could have been your brother.
Shoot straight shoot to kill
Blame each other, blame yourselves
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 5 foot 3
I'll get 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 thirty long years before they give him another chance
And it's sad sad sad
John Lennon, Doctor King, Harvey Milk
all for goddamn nothing
God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Concrete Blonde was an American alternative rock band active from 1982 to 1995, with brief revivals in 2001–2004 and again in the summer of 2010. The band is known for the poignant songwriting and vocals of Johnette Napolitano, who formed the core of their sound. Their music blends elements of alternative rock, gothic rock, and post-punk, with influences from blues and country. Among their most celebrated songs are "Bloodletting", "Joey", and "God Is a Bullet". Their debut album, "Concrete Blonde" (1986), marked the beginning of their career, followed by successes like "No King but Me" (1989) and "Mexican Moon" (1990). Concrete Blonde contributed to defining the alternative music scene of the 1980s and 1990s with their intense and introspective music.
