Sweet child in time you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between the good and the bad

See the blind man shooting at the world

Bullets flying taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have

And you've been hit by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes and bow your head

And wait for the ricochet
