Jimmy

[Verse 1]
Bloody sky red
Knew it was a warning
Jimmy got shocked
Went out of control and
Brother stepped out
That's when we told him, told him
Jimmy won't come home this morning

[Refrain]
He was born on the wrong side of town
When the trigger went off
And his body fell down
On the ground, was just hanging around
We know, we know, we know by now

[Pre-Chorus]
The nights are long and cold
And days don't seem to get no further
If I rule the world
I'd rather talk than murder

[Chorus]
Bloody murder
All this murder
Bloody murder, ah
(Say, say)
Bloody murder
All this murder
Bloody murder, ah

[Verse 2]
Witness goes: crime was committed by a man
Why would he care? He already had his hands dirty
Jimmy didn't even reach thirty
Whole city goes: man, how was this worth it?

[Refrain]
He was born on the wrong side of town
When the trigger went off
And his body fell down
On the ground, was just hanging around
We know, we know, we know by now

[Pre-Chorus]
The nights are long and cold
And days don't seem to get no further
If I rule the world
I'd rather talk than murder

[Chorus]
(Say, say)
Bloody murder
All this murder
Bloody murder, ah
(Say, say)
Bloody murder
All this murder
Bloody murder, ah

[Bridge]
So now we are stumbling
Over dead bodies and it's lose or win
Love or hate, rich or poor, no in-between (No in-between)
There's a million Jimmys out there
Waiting to be heard for the cynical to care
We need to change; world leaders, can you hear?
I said, "World leaders, can you hear?"
'Cause I wonder where is loving for our world refugees
People burning bridges, now there's no place to me
Kids ain't doing hula-hoop and round in the streets
'Cause they're filled with lots of fear
Switch up the rules, we gon' find a solution
Fight for the truth, it's a world revolution
And for us to move further
We need to talk no murder

[Chorus]
(Say, say)
Bloody murder
All this murder
Bloody murder, ah
(Say, say)
Bloody murder
All this murder
Bloody murder, ah
