Lyrics
Target ©2024 Creative InRoads, LLC
Mama buys a shotgun
That she learns to shoot
Papa buys a handgun
To hide inside his boot
Brother cleans his rifle
While sister she learns to pray
Come join the private army
Cuz has come to pay
Target on the run
Running from the gun
Target on the run
Running from the gun
I don't look for trouble
When I walk the street
But I could karate
Everyone I meet
Do you fear the madman?
Or do you fear the poor?
Do you fear the policeman?
Knockin' on your door
Target on the run
Running from the gun
Target on the run
Running from the gun
