Stop Shooting Me

A tin can of worms is what's eating me
My vegetarian mind just wants to let it be
I'm the kid on the street
I'm your Kennedy
Anomaly
A bloody mystery
Seek and destroy and your battle fatigues
Somebody ripped a page off of my history
The sky is bleeding, the earth is crying
God is alive but the devil ain't dying

Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I can't see 10 feet in front of me
Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I'm biting the bullet, ain't swallowing
Hey, hey

It's 10 in the morning and I'm watching the news
Is everybody nuts or am I losing touch
I'm laughing now so I guess I'm fine
Don't tell me too much, I got a hollow mind
With no time to swallow or shit or fight
I feel a little vacant like a poltergeist
Mahatma Gandhi, I'm your Babylon
I'm the fire you set, I'm your wake-up bomb

Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I can't see 10 feet in front of me
Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I'm biting the bullet, ain't swallowing
Hey, hey

Walking on a city sidewalk
Better get a bodyguard
Sorry doesn't get attention
Better get an armored car
Maybe I should learn to trust
But you look friendly as a border dog
And I'm a little phobic
Got acute neurosis

The man in the moon is selling fantasy
It's all about nothing but money, money
Feeding the strong and starving the weak
But there's a payback day
Zen karma belief
Look I know you did it but you left no trace
Don't look at me with that Jack Nicholson face
It's a Johnny here and a Johnny there
And pretty soon the little Johnny's are everywhere

Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I can't see 10 feet in front of me
Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I'm biting the bullet, ain't swallowing
Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
I can't see 10 feet in front of me
Stop shooting me
Stop shooting me
Hey, hey

It's love, love and it's truth from above
Give me a rise and I'll give you a prize
Don't slam the lids
Don't sleep with your daughters
Don't piss in the tiger's drinking water
