lyrics

They're calling it a homicide
Two shots fired under the crescent moonlight
Killer didn't have nowhere to hide
(Disappeared) like a shadow in the night

They said the victim was a rapist
Daddy was a racist
Momma gave up on him when he was young
They thought he couldn't make it
Instead he wouldn't take it
Went down to the pawn shop & bought him a gun
His accomplice was a made man
Came it like, "Hey man,
I know a little lady who could show us some fun."
Met her up on Bargain Street
Came at her like a dog in heat
Gave in to corruption now his days are done

It's always easy for him
Standing at the blunt end of a knife
And as you watch in admiration ask yourself,
Have you earned the right to life?

And as the shots rang out like *Pop Pop*
They're pitiful lives flashed before their eyes
Cuz when they hollered in the night like, "Stop, stop!"
They gave up their lives, to a man in disguise

It's never easy for you
Staring at the sharp end of a knife
And as you watch in anticipation ask yourself,
Have you earned the right to life?

Hidin' in plain sight... hidin' in plain sight...

It's always easy for him
Standing at the blunt end of a knife
And as you watch in anticipation ask yourself,
Have you earned the right to life?
