Shoot

(album: Goodnight L.A. - 1990)

You take a dangerous line
Holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time
Before you hurt someone
So keep your running shoes close
And sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost
The hunter won't be long

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run?
When you have to go on living
By the gun

Well, go on, shoot
Someone cries, that's the beginning
Go on, shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on, shoot
Show the world that you're not kidding

All gather deep in the earth
A careless light betrays
Be feared, the devil, he's at work
No place to end your days
To hold the balance of the fight
And scream your heart's desire
Don't give you automatic right
To quench the holy fire

Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run?
When you have to go on living
By the gun

Shoot
Someone cries, that's the beginning
Go on, shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on, shoot

Come on, shoot
Someone cries, that's the beginning
Go on, shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Show the world
Show the world
Justify the blood you're spilling
No
Show the world that you're not kidding
