Shell Casings Songtext
von Time Again

Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

Johnny from the streets was the gangster′s son
Born he was livid, livin' on the run
He was fifteen when he picked up the gun
From that day on, Johnny′s life was done
He was sixteen when he got his first case
Heard his mother cryin', sayin' "Oh, what a waste"
But to live by the gun was all that he knew
On a street like his, it was all you could do

Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang


Eighteen years old, Johnny′s back on the fold
A little bit bigger and a lot more bold
Now Johnny′s out to even the score
Hand in his pocket, holdin' his.44
And then it went down quick as a flash
Sound of the trigger then a thunderous crash
And since his birth, his odds were none
Johnny was a boy, was a gangster′s son

Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
Shell casings on the floor as the gun goes off
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang

I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang
