[Verse 1]
There was a kid so low, he couldn't stand up
No money, no respect, and too much bad luck
Desperation had gotten to him at last
It was dark, dark alley and a shotgun blast
And I knew a man everyone thought was out of his mind
He had a cane and seemed to be around all the time
And it's a shame, when a car rolls past
Same old story, the guy had a shotgun
Black alley

[Chorus]
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it, yeah
'Til it's out of your head, go

Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it, yeah
'Til it's out of your head, now

[Interlude]

[Outro]
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it
Shotgun, yeah, no one ever thinks about it
They never think about it
They never think about it
They never think, they never think, no
They never think about it
They never think about it
They never think, they never think, no
They never think about it
They never think about it
They never think, they never think, no
They never think about it
They never think about it
They never think, they never think, no
