I Shot A Man Lyrics by Matt Bodman

Burn

2009

His arms are raised and he's shaking
Said "Don't cry brother, you'll be dead before you bleed"
But this gun don't work like it used to
It took three bullets just to put him on his knees
Oh I'm certain there's no God above
If he was listening he'd strike me down
Are you listening? Strike me down
Oh oh I'm waiting
I shot a man
I shot a man
Now he's on his knees and he's crying
He says "Don't you shoot me, brother, Don't you have a family of your own?"
But that I'm lucky nothings gonna save him
He should've kept it shut from the very start and then we wouldn't have to go like this, no
If he was listening hе'd strike me down
Are you listеning? Strike me down
Oh oh I'm waiting
I shot a man
I shot a man
Oh now he won't bother me
Now he won't bother me
Now he won't bother
Now he won't
I shot a man
I shot a man
I shot a man
I shot a man
