Pick you up in the suburbs tomorrow We won't tell, they won't follow Pack your bags, and put all your trust in me Never had a gun to his head, that's what he said That's why I shot him dead With the vengance that his daughter fed I've always been a sucker for a brown eyed, punk rock girl and for her I'd shoot the world. [CHORUS] Shoot him down Shoot him down for all the nightmares Shoot him down What goes around will come around Shoot him down Your father is also your pain I love you and for us I'll shoot him down No remorse, we've got no time to look back The cop is on our trail and we're driving in a Topaz Stuck in no-man's land, between the body and mind "Drop your gun!... Put your hands behind your head!" Turn around, pop a clip, hit him in his chest Home free, and we're headed for the border Spending time in Mexico, Tijuana Drown our shame then start our lives again, in California [CHORUS] Shoot him down Shoot him down for all the nightmares Shoot him down What goes around will come around Shoot him down Your father is also your pain I love you and for us I'll shoot him down Next thing I know, I'm all alone in a motel No explanation, no letter goodbye I can't promise much, but I do promise this I promise to find you So I can remind you I loved you and for us I shot him down
