How could you be so full of hate?
Six feet away, they heard him say
(To take away somebody's life)
(What made you think you had the right?)
And let the whole world know it
On the side of a bullet
“God, why’d you let him do it?”
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own
And made the world all wonder why
How could you put us through it?
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
And made the world all wonder why
How could you take his life away?
His brother watched you do it
And when I heard you let him die
He hit the stage so full of rage
So many lives are broken
Could pull somebody through it
How could you let him do it?
I sat at home and on my own I cried alone
How could you take his life away?
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
How could you take his life away?
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
And to this day so many say
And when I heard you let him die
How could you be so full of hate?
I sat at home and cried alone and on my own
How could you be so full of hate?
(To take away somebody's life)
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
On the side of a bullet
“Oh God, don’t let him pull it”
On the side of a bullet
And in the wake of his mistake
(What made you think you had the right?)
His brother watched him do it
And no excuse you could use

Please God, don’t let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
I scratched your name in the side of a bullet
Maybe a little too well
