don't / shoot

lyrics

no virus no bacteria
no act of violence no hysteria.
no airplane on the ground.
don't let nothing shoot you down.
not your lover. not your employer.
not your mother nor any
judge or lawyer.
no officer who's duty bound.
don't let nothing shoot you down.
not the army. no armor tank.
not the economy
not even the world bank.
no religion or philosophy you've found.
don't let nothing shoot you down.
not the tv. not what it's selling.
not the absurdity of every lie
it's telling.
no unworthy leaders.
self-righteous preachers' superiority.
no bigotry. no poverty.
no self limiting. no false humility.
no self pity.
no big city & no little town.
don't let nothing shoot you down.
