Bullet Train

[Verse 1]
He gave the people hope and purpose
Built a place called Camelot
And we were the wide-eyed innocents
Until somebody had him shot

[Chorus 1]
He's been long gone
Too long gone
You know his name
Now he's riding on the bullet train

[Verse 2]
"I have a dream," said the black man
"When we'll all study war no more"
"Equality," he said, "for everyone here"
Then they shot him on the second floor

[Chorus 1]
He's been long gone
Too long gone
You know his name
Now he's riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train

[Verse 3]
He bought her a gun for protection
She kept it on a closet shelf
Their little child found it one fateful day
No, he never meant to kill himself

[Chorus 2]
He's been long gone
Too long gone
It's a crying shame
Now he's riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
He's riding on the bullet train

[Bridge]
Say a prayer for the dear departed
Who left this old world too soon
There's a lot of poor souls on the bullet train
But Lord knows they got more room

[Chorus]
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train

[Verse 4]
Think of all the innocent bystanders
Killed by the gang-war strays
Think of the mothers and the babies
Now throw the bloody guns away

[Chorus 3]
Oh, long gone
Too long gone
And we're all to blame
We gotta stop the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet
Train
Train
Train
Train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
Riding on the bullet train
