Citizen Cope - Bullet And A Target Lyrics






Mr. Dali Lamas
Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow
Amputees in Freetown
Sierra Leone's
The church wasn't honest
The state put the youth in a harness
Creatin' hostility among us
Teacher said no college
Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas
People wanna bomb us
More people gotta scatter and run from us
You can blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away

I've been knowing her for years
I've been seeing her for years
She got dark, dark wavy hair
With a voice like she just don't care
She got a skirt with a halter top
She's got a dad who never gave a fuck
She drinks a beer with a malted top
She got knocked up in a pickup truck
But she got engaged when she was nineteen
To this dude who was acting insane
Had a .45 that he always cleaned
Said one day one day one too many days
Now she ducked and she ran away
Never to be heard from, never to be seen
I check the cover of a magazine
I'm just wondering how, just wondering how

But what you've done here
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
And it won't be long before
You're pulling yourself away [4x]

A bullet and a target [4x]

Between a bullet and a target

    I don't understand why someone would post something on youtube and tell everyone it's for personal use. It's like tempting fate. Anyway, this song is pretty good. Is Citizen Cope one guy or a band?

  29. E.... ....

    Thanks to someone on Etsy who turned me on to this song!

  30. V.... G....

    I just heard of this band last night and i've just been listening to their music all day today they have good music :)

  31. S.... J....

    haha Im the same way! I used to be so closed-minded to all hiphop/rap because all I heared were those stupid songs about sex and drugs...But then I found artists who raped about importanat thing from their hearts and I realised that I shoud never judge a genre of music =)

  32. M.... ....

    SEASONS

  43. j.... o....

  44. w.... ....

    i saw him live a while ago it was so amazing how he plays all the instruments but he records the sounds then plays with them

  45. B.... a....

    thats like 4 words

  46. w.... ....

    I saw them live last night too! Their music is empowering and inspiring, truly amazing :)

  47. X.... ....

  48. M.... B....

    this ist really awesome song...ridding corvette and listening to Citizen Cope...its my dream x]

  49. C.... L....

    dude stfu no one cares about gay ass comment

  50. m.... m....

  51. M.... C....

    Great Song, i like it very much.

  52. M.... ....

    if you made this video for yourself, why the hell did you put it on youtube? keep it on ur computer, watch it when you feel gay and bored, and nobody has to see this piece of crap! dogg, itz a picture!

  53. Z.... ....

    I appreciate you putting this up. Citizen Cope has some serious skill. I love pretty much everything I've heard from him.

  54. H.... D....

    dude, it's just a freakin picture. wtf is to criticize?

  55. I.... ....

    no it doesnt

  56. B.... B....

    eh I just listened to this song for the first time, I think Let the drummer kick is better by far but its just more my style than this one so whatever opinions are just that

  57. J.... C....

    hardcore tuneage. love it much. keep up th good work. his best song by far

  58. j.... c....

    man your so good if i was a million air id give ye so much money this song really brings a meaning to some people i lv it man good stuff keep it up

  62. M.... ....

    Heard this at the end of the Sentinel, awesome song!

  63. Z.... ....

    yea and by doing all they, they put themselves between a bullet and a target =) i love how music can have multible meanings and relate to anything you feel.

  64. C.... ....

    I saw Cope live a while ago...amazing show!

  65. B.... S....

    calculated teh risk and seemed the right thing to do. go to jail for life or kill a potential snitch. gotta kill the snitch

  66. R.... R....

    yeah alpha dog is great movie!

  67. m.... ....

    i think it was a joke
    fuckin funny one

  68. Z.... ....

    all that counts is here is that you listen to it right?

  69. P.... ....

    It's good music because the man's a pot head! Don't care for that but his music hits me man... Hits me good!

    Just wish he was a little more famous so people would hear him more and listen to "real" music.

  70. C.... L....

    so relaxing song...

  71. a.... ....

    yeah debating seeing him in montreal aswell....is the acoustic just as good tho?

  72. W.... L....

    he didnt quite hit the high E on the last verse...weak

  73. z.... ....
