Six fifteen on a Sunday night,
There's a man with a gun and he wants to die,
Didn't want to hurt anybody else
Wants to stop the pain that's in his head,
A cry for help He took a gun in his hand,
Extreme actions of a desperate man
The black dog was with him wherever he'd go,
Lost his wife his job and they took his home .
He took a gun in his hand
A sign of a desperate man
A cry for help, a cry for help
The only way out all he could see
A man on the edge of insanity.
Didn't wanna hurt the hostage he held,
Shoot me in the head to the cops he yelled,
Eight fifteen on a Sunday night
There's a man on the ground not making a sound,
Cops gonna take him to a prison cell,
There gonna take him straight back to hell
He took a gun in his hand
A sign of a desperate man
A cry for help, a cry for help,
A cry for help
You can't kick a man when he's down
When you don't know what's going on inside
A cry for help, a cry for help,
A cry for help, a cry for help,
