[Intro]
Pick you up in the suburbs tomorrow
We won't tell they won't follow
Pack your bags put all your trust in me

[Verse 1]
Never had a gun to his head that's what he said
So I shot him dead with a vengeance that his daughter fed
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
(ohhhhhhh)
What goes around comes around
(ohhhhhhh)
Your father is also your pain
I love you and for us I'll shoot him down

[Verse 2]
No remorse, got no time to look back
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 and start our lives again in California
[Chorus]
(Shoot him down)
Shoot him down for all the nightmares
(ohhhhh)
What goes around comes around
(ohhhhhhh)
Your father is also your pain
I love you and for us I'll shoot him down

[Interlude]
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 love you and for us I'll shoot him down
