Pick you up in the suburbs tomorrow
We won't tell, they won't follow
Pack your bags, and put all your trust in me
Never had a gun to his head, that's what he said
That's why I shot him dead
With the vengance that his daughter fed
I've 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
Shoot him down
What goes around will come around
Shoot him down
Your father is also your pain
I love you and for us I'll shoot him down

No remorse, we've got no time to look back
The 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 then start our lives again, in California

[CHORUS]
Shoot him down
Shoot him down for all the nightmares
Shoot him down
What goes around will come around
Shoot him down
Your father is also your pain
I love you and for us I'll shoot him down

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 loved you and for us I shot him down
