Shot down in the prime of my youth
They say your lyin' and you're telling the truth
They got your number and there's no turning back
Shot down shot down
They say I'm a loser
With my future painted black
And though they take me for a fool
I know they talk behind my back
They took my brother
He's got 4 long years to go
My sister ran with a music man
And they say that's all she wrote
Shot down in the prime of my youth
They say your lyin' and you're telling the truth
They got your number and there's no turning back
Shot down shot down
The cops they got a problem
They think they really know the score
Cause every time somebody's on the
Loose they come a banging down my door
A bad reputation
Is all they ever gave to me
Well, I never done what they said I done
But I'll never make them see
(Shot down)
They said trouble was my middle name
(Shot down)
The boys in town said I played a game
(Shot down)
They stayed away from a girl like me
(Shot down)
I can still hear them laughing at me
Ha ha
Oh no no
They say I'm a loser
With my future painted black
And though they take me for a fool
I know they talk being my back
They took my brother
He's got 4 long years to go
Well, My sister ran with a music man
And they say that's all she wrote
Shot down in the prime of my youth
They say your lyin' and you're telling the truth
They got your number and there's no turning back
Shot down shot
Down
Shot down in the prime of my youth
They say your lyin' and you're telling the truth
They got your number and there's no turning back
Shot down, Shot down
Shot down, shot
