I shot an ol' bottle with my favorite gun just last night It shattered and the sound made me feel like the king I am The neighbors all heard and got scared Thought it was a gunfight But hell, it was fun, so I did it again 'Cause that's the kinda king I am I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down I shoot the lost, I shoot the found And if there's someone I can't find Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind I turned on the radio and listened to the ol' songs playin' And things started feelin' good and right again So I shot up a crow in a tree after dinner this evenin Its good to keep yer trigger finger nimble, I'll tell you what, my friend I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down I shoot the lost, I shoot the found And if there's someone I can't find Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind I shot my daddy in the arm, with morphine He said he never felt so good in all his goddamn life So I shot him up just once more, fer good measure He never woke up, and ever since, it's been a mighty peaceful life I shoot 'em up, I shoot 'em down I shoot the lost, I shoot the found And if there's someone I can't find Well, then I shoot 'em in my mind
