Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]

Say, Mrs. Dali Lamas

Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrows

Amputees in Freetown, Sierra Leone's

The church wasn't honest

[Verse 3]

The state put the youth in a harness

Creatin' hostility among us

The teacher said, "No college"

Still, kid gotta get a check

With a couple commas

[Verse 4]

People wanna bomb us

More people gotta scatter and run from us

Blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis

[Verse 5]

But, what you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pullin' yourself away

[Verse 6]

But, what you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pullin' yourself away

[Verse 7]

I been knowin' her for years

I've been seein' her for years

She got dark, dark wavy hair

With a voice like she just don't care

[Verse 8]

She got a skirt with a halter top

She's got a dad who never gave her enough

She drink a beer with a proper shot

She got knocked up in a pickup truck

[Verse 9]

But she got engaged when she was nineteen

To this dude who was actin' insane

Had a .45 that he always cleaned

Said, one day, one day, one too many days

[Verse 10]

Now he ducked, and she ran away

Never to be heard from, never to be seen

I check a cover of a magazine

I'm just wonderin' how, just wonderin' how

[Verse 11]

But, what you've done is

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pullin' yourself away

[Verse 12]

But, what you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pullin' yourself away

[Verse 13]

What you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pullin' yourself away

[Verse 14]

What you've done here

Is put yourself between a bullet and a target

And it won't be long before

You're pullin' yourself away

[Verse 15]

A bullet and a target

A bullet and a target

A bullet and a target

A bullet and a target

[Verse 16]

Between a bullet and a target

[Verse 17]

A bullet and a, bullet and a target

A bullet and a, bullet and a target

A bullet and a, bullet and a target

A bullet and a, bullet and a
