Gunshot-I start to run
No race and Ain't no fun
My friends, they realize
My fear is no surprise
No, no, no you'll never got me
Not this time
[Refrain:]
This time I have to run
But next time I will stand
Get a rifle, and shot right back
Just like in a computer game
Next shot will hit you straight
Kill you, you big disgrace
Preacher oh starts to pray
For me, and for my health
No, no you'll never get me
Not alive
[Refrain]
There is no game over
Everything is going to be alright
My honor oh is my pride
