I shot a man Today
I shot a man today
A no one, someone out for fun,
said the wrong thing and met my gun,
now he's in the gutter and I'm on the run.
I shot a man today
Straight down in flames,
done nothing wrong but asked some names,
Wish I'd used my head, not lost my brains.
I shot a man today
Where do I go, the plot is lost and there's no show,
the lights and the candles have lost their glow,
the voice in the head says "told you so",
the youth are lost yet they don't know,
their bodies enabled but minds disabled,
thoughts all twisted like an old ships cables,
lost in the search for lie spun fables,
angry faces across dirty tables,
and screams and shouts and shots ringout,
who's the thug, who's the lout,
what's this violence all about,
mental or physical it's all the same,
always looking to pass the blame,
there is no winner in this ■■■■■■■ game,
you and I are just the same...
Just we don't always see it
I shot a man today
No fun, no happiness,
I shot him through my mental uselessness,
uncontrollable compulsiveness,
no prayers, no thoughts.... no goodnight, God bless,
the man was shot because he was a mess.
I shot a man today
because he couldn't see,
the man that I shot today...
.......... was me.
