The Shot
The shot
I shot the messenger, I got him good
One shot and it was done
And after that I slowly turned
And reloaded my gun
And then I took another shot
And this one stung me good
It burnt my throat and stomach too
For it was without food
But still I needed one more shot
And I took it from afar
It turned out blurry, crooked too
This while I drove the car
And when they scolded me for this
I shot right from the hip
It didn’t matter much to me
Guess I was on a trip
I was obnoxious, yes I know
Pipe down, and judge me not!
I had the chance to make a change
And well, I took my shot
So if you have a problem with
The way I tend to shoot
Don’t stress about it, let it be
The target is my foot.
