Loaded Gun

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man

Did you hear what happened to the poor man at the station tonight?
He was shot in cold blood
Waiting for the train
While heading home to his wife

And the police report said
We had no choice left
We did what we were forced to do
He was sweating it out
With a back pack on
Who knows what he might have done
We did the only thing that
We know how to do

With a loaded gun
With a loaded gun in our hands
We can end life
We can decide the fate of a man
He was his mother's one and only son
But to everybody else
He was public enemy number one

Well he fit the profile
There'll be no trial
There is nothing left to say
So what if he's innocent
He's still one of them
And I won't lose any sleep tonight
And the news report said
The law protected
But the young man never had a clue

And the message to his mother read
Sorry but you son is dead
This is our job and we were ordered to take his life
