Lyrics

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!

Shoot straight from the hip, yeah
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your brother
Shoot straight shoot to kill, yeah
Blame each other, well, blame yourselves, you know
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 a thirty long years 'fore they're givin' him another chance
And it's sad, sad, it's sad

Shoot straight from the hip, yeah
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother
Shoot straight shoot to kill, yeah
Blame each other, well, blame yourselves, you know
God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone

Shoot straight from the hip, yeah
Gone forever in a trigger slip
Well, it could have been
It could have been your mother

John lennon, doctor king, harvey milk
All for goddamn nothing

God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone
God is a bullet have mercy on us everyone
