I Shot Him and I Ran

about

“I Shot Him and I Ran” is about the implications of repressive structures
pushing people to believe in nothing and the violent actions that are bred when one can no longer see hope in the future.

lyrics

I Shot Him and I Ran

I shot him and I ran through the suburbs
And over the estate
I got a mile and a half
before a witness would locate

The body by the brook
Going out towards the moor
I’m sorry that a stranger
Had to comprehend the gore

I shot him and I ran towards a life
That was free of consequence
I had to climb over walls
And vault a garden fence

You can’t tie down a man
Who has simply had enough
Of a future out of sight
And a present in the rough

I shot him and I ran past a past
Of provincial warmth and joy
I saw into the eyes
Of the young innocent boy

Whose life I had once known
As a place I would call home
But I’ve sullied all that’s pure
With these seeds that I’ve sown
