Side of a Bullet

Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger  loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away  they heard him say
“Oh God  don't let him pull it”
Please God  don't let him pull it
How could you put us through it
His brother watched you do it
How could you take his life away
How could you be so full of hate
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own
I cried alone
And scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
“God why'd you let him do it ”
How could you let him do it
How could you put us through it
His brother watched him do it
How could you take his life away
How could you be so full of hate
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
All wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
How could you take his life away
How could you be so full of hate
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
All wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
And on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
