Black Veil Brides - American Skin (41 Shots) lyrics
[Black Veil Brides - American Skin 41 Shots lyrics]
Across the bloody river to the other side
41 shots cut through the night
You're kneeling over his body
In the vestibule praying for his life
Is it a gun? Is it a knife?
Is it a wallet? This is your life
That ain't no secret (That ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret)
No secret, my friend
You get killed just for living
In your American skin
41 shots 41 shots
41 shots 41 shots
41 shots mary gets her son ready for school
She says, "On these streets, Alex
You've got to understand the rules
If an officer stops you
Promise me you'll always be polite
And that you'll never ever run away
Promise Mama
You'll keep your hands in sight"
Is it a gun? Is it a knife?
Is it a wallet? This is your life
That ain't no secret (That ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret)
No secret, my friend
You get killed just for living
In your American skin
Is it a gun? Is it a knife?
Is it a wallet? This is your life
That ain't no secret (That ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret)
That ain't no secret (That ain't no secret)
41 shots and we'll take that ride
Across the bloody river to the other side
41 shots i got my boots caked with this mud
We're baptized in these waters
And in each other's blood
Is it a gun? Is it a knife?
Is it a wallet? This is your life
That ain't no secret (That ain't no secret)
It ain't no secret (It ain't no secret)
No secret my friend
You get killed just for living
In your American skin
