Shoot from the back,

Make sure I'm dead

Bang Bang**
Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn
Bang Bang***
You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**
Am Am
Bang Bang
Get some sleep
or lie in wait
Until the day
I run away
Forget the corpse
present the case
to bring me down
and lose your words
I'll follow you
into the grave
and at the gates
I see the passing say,
"The judge be judged,
and all the rich be saved."
I throw my curse
all across your days**
And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**
Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**
You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang**
Am Am
Bang Bang
C Am Em Em
C Am Em Em
And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Watch them float off
to never be saved
You live inside
your Jesus dream**
C Am Em Em
C Am Em Em
