Lyrics
I’ve been shot out of a canon, been in heads and hearts,
I was there in Germany when Hitler got his start.
But whoo – hooo, I have never been in Love.
I’ve been there on the Savanna, poached and took down game,
I was with the stalker that smoked John Lennon’s flame.
And whoo – hooo, I have never been in Love.
I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet,
And the trigger, and the trigger –
When you pull it, when you pull it
It all explodes and I know – I will never be in Love.
I’ve never been to heaven, I’ve never been to hell
But I’ve helped alot of soldiers get there when they fell
And whoo – hooo, I have never been in Love.
I’ve been to revolutions, when the people had enough.
I’ve overthrown aristocrats and then turned my back on love.
It’s True – hooo, I have never been in Love!
I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet,
And the trigger, and the trigger –
When you pull it, when you pull it
It all explodes and I know – I will never be in Love.
There ain’t an ounce of lead, that can’t take down a man
There ain’t a pound of flesh that was strong enough to stand
I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet, I’m a bullet,
And the trigger, and the trigger –
When you pull it, when you pull it
It all explodes and I know – I will never be in Love.
