BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN lyrics : "American Skin (41 Shots)"

(41 shots)
(41 shots)
(41 shots)

(41 shots)

41 shots, and we'll take that ride

'Cross the 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 killed 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 me 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 gun), is it a knife (is it a knife)
Is it a wallet (is it a wallet), this is your life (this is your life)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)

It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in your American skin


(41 shots)
(41 shots)

(41 shots)
(41 shots)


Is it a gun (is it a gun), is it a knife (is it a knife)
Is it in your heart (is it in your heart), is it in your eyes (is it in your eyes)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)

It ain't no secret (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, I got my boots caked with this mud

We're baptized in these waters (baptized in these waters)
And in each other's blood (and in each other's blood)


Is it a gun (is it a gun), is it a knife (is it a knife)
Is it a wallet (is it a wallet), this is your life (this is your life)
It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)

It ain't no secret (it ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You can get killed just for living in

You can get killed just for living in
You can get killed just for living in your American skin


41 shots
41 shots
41 shots

41 shots
[x2]


41 shots (you can get killed just for living in)
41 shots (you can get killed just for living in)
41 shots (you can get killed just for living in)

41 shots (you can get killed just for living in)
[x2]
