Bruce Springsteen - American Skin / 41 Shots Lyrics

41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots and we'll take that ride 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots Lena gets her son ready for school She says now on these streets Charles You got to understand the rules Promise me if an officer stops you'll allways be polite Never ever run away and promise momma you'll keep your hands in sight Cause is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secret It ain't no secret The secret my friend You can get killed just for living in your American skin 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots Across this bloody river to the other side 41 shots they 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 It ain't no secret It ain't no secret Ain't no secret my friend You can get killed just for living in your American skin 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots Lena gets her son ready for school She says now on these streets Charles You got to understand the rules Promise me if an officer stops you'll always be polite Never ever run away and promise momma you'll keep your hands in sight Cause is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secretn get killed just for living in your American skin 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots Is it a gun? Is it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secret It ain't no secret It ain't no secret 41 shots and we'll take that ride Across this bloody river to the other side 41 shots my boots caked in mud We're baptized in these waters and in each other's blood It ain't no secretIs it a knife? Is it a wallet? This is your life It ain't no secret It ain't no secret The secret my friend You can get killed just for living in You can get killed just for living in You can get killed just for living in your American skin 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots 41 shots Bruce Springsteen Lyrics American Skin / 41 Shots Lyrics
