They Shot Charlie

Oh god I can't believe my ears

Must be something wrong with the radio

I just saw it but don't understand it yeah

On the TV show?

I don't mean to offend anyone but I dont think the prophet would like

To hear you say they had it coming

You’re a cryin shame
If our thoughts can’t be drawn on a page

Let's go back to the middle ages

I wanna know

They shot Charlie in the head

They shot Charlie in the hear
t
No you can’t ease your mind with death or glory
If Charlie backs down, our hope is gone

Headline I can already see the front pages telling the nightmare

Of living in a terror state yeah

You’ll get your share

You had fun at the demonstration
With your lies alined at your side

And you were screamin «the sky is fallin»
They took everything

If fanatics can control the stage
Who’ll come to destroy their rage?
I wanna know

They shot Charlie in the head

They shot Charlie in the heart

No need to ease your mind with death or glory

If Charlie backs down, our hope is gone

I thought that we could live together 

No broken promises and bloodsheds

Charlie and I are lookin for what’s left to write


I know what I want 
But now I’m on my knee
Nothing to wait for, time's leavin without me
