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
