There was a kid so low, he couldn't stand up
No money, no respect and too much bad luck
Desperation had gotten to him at last
It was dark

Dark alley and a shot gun blast
And I knew a man everyone thought
Was out of his mind
He had a cane and seemed to be around all the time

And it's a shame, when a car rolls past
It was dark
Dark alley and a shot gun blast

Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Until it's out of your head

Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Until it's out of your head now

Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah no one ever thinks about it
No one ever thinks about it, they never think about it
They never think, they never think no
They never think about it, they never think about it
They never think, they never think no
They never think about it, they never think about it
They never think, they never think no
They never think about it, they never think about it
