    Shot down in the prime of life
they say you're lying and you're tellin' the truth
they got your number and there's no turn back
shot down - shot down.

They say i'm a loser with my future painted black
and though they take me for a fool
i know they talk behind my back
they took - my brother he's got four long years to go
my sister ran with the music man and they say that's all she wrote.  

Shot down in the prime of life
they say you're lying and you're tellin' the truth
they got your number and there's no turning back
shot down - shot down.

The cops they got a problem 
they think they really know the score
cause everytime somebody's on the loose
they come bangin' down my door
a bad reputation - is all they ever gave to me
well i never done what they say i done
but i never make them see.

Shot down - they said trouble was my middle name
Shot down - the boys in town said i played the game
Shot down - they stayed away from a girl like me
Shot down - well i can stand there their laughing at me - ha ha.

Oh no no.

They say i'm a loser with my future painted black
and though they take me for a fool
i know they talk behind my back
they took - my brother he's got four long years to go - well
my sister ran with the music man and they say that's all she wrote.

Shot down in the prime of life
they say you're lyin' and you're tellin' the truth
they got your number and there's no turning back
shot down shot - down
shot down in the prime of life
they say you're lyin' and you're tellin' the truth
they got your number and there's no turning back
shot down - shot down
shot down - shot.
