Demolition String Band
One Shot
(Skye/Belle/Hock/Hennebach)





Mother of pearl, resting in a velvet bed
Cold steel, through it the bullet is fed
Such a statement, quiet in her drawer
Sudden pull of the trigger, will make the mouse roar
One shot, a life is ended
Maybe a father, maybe a little girl
One shot, and your best friend dead,
maybe a woman unwilling
Get your handguns here, credit or cash
Sawed off shotguns to complete your stash
This is America, these are my fatigues
Get along home now and put your mind at ease with
One shot, a life is ended
Maybe a father, mmaybe a little girl
One shot, and your best friend dead, maybe a woman unwilling
Guns are made for killing
The problem is so much deeper than the right to own a gun
It goes so much deeper than a bullet when it's done
Do we need to fight each other in order to survive
When the wars that must be won, are the wars that rage inside
