Lyrics:
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, ooh taking toll
If you've been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, oooh
bow your head
Wait for the ricochet
Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-oooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-oooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-oooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-oooh
