Mr.Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' !@(% 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 $#&@
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
