Call Me a Bullet

Blood won't come, mama, been two months, mama

Took your call, hit it out of state

I do it here, mama, but I fear, mama

They shut him down as far as I can see

Heavily gunned

Worn with pride

Still in the shadows, I must hide

So call me a bullet, mmm

Shoot me off into the dark

I never wanted your hand

Call me a bullet, mmm

Shoot me high and wild and deep

Baby, then I'll be free

I could have died, father, they wouldn't have cared, father

This ain't about life, and it never was

Old white men, father, with their black pens, father

Took my choices, ground them into dust

Death in your cell

Anyway, you came

Still, I'm the one with blood on my hands

So call me a bullet, mmm

Shoot me off into the night

I never wanted your hand

Call me a bullet, mmm

Shoot me high and wild and free

Baby, then you'll protect me

Call me a bullet

Call me a bullet
