Lyrics
Shoot ‘em up, shut ‘em in
Sacrifice the next of kin
Tip the needle, prick the skin
Again and again and again
Tall, dark, handsome when they begin
Now they cry from deep within
It's a shame and maybe a sin
For them it's the livin' end
And we see the fear in their eyes
Times that we shared, they will not pass us by
And, if we could write their names across the sky
They'd read so high. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . so high
Nine by nine concrete cell
Makes their lives a livin' hell
They can save us from ourselves
A little more time will tell
And we'll celebrate those who've died
Choices were made while we were standing by
And so we will write their names across the sky
To say "goodbye". . . . . . . . . . . . . . . goodbye
We are the legions of the lost
So many times we've paid the cost
You are the keeper, you are the boss
You may even be a friend
Shoot ‘em up, shut ‘em in
Sacrifice the next of kin
Tip the needle, prick the skin
Again and again and again
Again and again and again
Again and again and agai
