Story Behind the Song
The motivation for this song is obvious. I wrote this song while watching the news at my home in North Carolinia. I recorded it in my home studio compleatly by my self. That can be a pain! with out some one to help out with the rhythym tracks.
Lyrics
Just a single shot
Then you hit the ground runnin’
The ones you picked, well, they never saw it comin’
Changed their world in the blink of an eye
They never knew it was time to die
A man, a woman, a little child
message on a tarrot card showed us your style
They see your story on the silver screen
The city holds its’ breath while a crazy man dreams
With deadly force, ten of fourteen
you ruled the city like you were the king
A twisted mind in a twisted world
When you live on the edge, you’re gonna die by the sword
223 was the weapon of choice
If your killing for fun then you need no remorse
Now you’re locked in a cell, not on the loose
Tell me now, who’s the duck in the noose?
(LEAD BREAK)
Now you’re sportin’ a jumpsuit, shackles and chains
We all know the extent of your shame
From the Georgia town to the Washington state
It looks to me like you just love to hate
Pullin’ your trigger just for fun
Did you like to live your life on the run?
If you plan to gamble with higher stakes
Boy, you’d better be ready to pay the take
Ya man, that’s right, we got ya!
