Loaded Gun Lyrics - The Living End

With a loaded gun 

With a loaded gun in our hands 

We can end life 

We can decide the fate of a man, yeah 

Did you hear what happened 

To that poor man at the station tonight? 

He was shot in cold blood, waiting for the train 

While heading home to his wife 

And the police report said, we have no choice left 

We did what we were forced to do 

He was sweating it out with a backpack on 

Who knows what he might've done 

We did the only thing that we know how to do 

With a loaded gun 

With a loaded gun in our hands 

We can end life 

We can decide the fate of a man 

He was his mother's one and only son 

But to everybody else 

He was public enemy number one 

Well, he fit the profile, there'll be no trial 

There is nothing left to say 

So what if he's innocent, he's still one of them 

And I won't lose any sleep tonight 

And the news report said, the law protected 

But the young man never had a clue 

And the message to his mother read 

Sorry but your son is dead 

This is our job and we were ordered to take his life 

With a loaded gun 

With a loaded gun in our hands 

We can end life 

We can decide the fate of a man 

He was his mother's one and only son 

But to everybody else 

He was public enemy number one 

With a loaded gun 

With a loaded gun in our hands 

We can end life 

We can decide the fate of a man 

With a loaded gun 

With a loaded gun in our hands 

We can end life 

We can decide the fate of a man 

He was his mother's one and only son 

But to everybody else 

He was public enemy number one
