Bullet And A Target Lyrics

Citizen Cope Bullet And A Target

Songwriters: Greenwood, Clarence;

Mr.Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin 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 enough
She drink a beer with a proper shot
She got knocked up in a pickup truck

But she got engaged when she was nineteen
To this dude who was acting insane
Has 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

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

Ah, 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

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

A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
A bullet and a target
Between a bullet and a target
