Lyrics
Headlines
There's a man in the shadows loading up his gun!
If anyone saw him, I'm sure that they would run!
His boss man, he really laid them down,
Only time he'll stop it to load another round
Headlines, early morning news
Line by line to bringing you the blues
Headlines what they didn't say
How did this man really get this way
They asked his wife what did he say?
Do you know where he went today?
They asked his neighbors, what was he like?
They said he's a nice man, always rode a bike!
Headlines, early morning news
Line by line to bringing you the blues
Headlines what they didn't say
How did this man really get this way
Nobody saw him, nobody heard!
When he complained, not a single word!
Nobody saw him, when he walked by!
Nobody stopped him, not you or I!
Headlines, early morning news
Line by line to bringing you the blues
Headlines what they didn't say
How did this man really get this way
There's a man in the shadows loading up his gun!
If anyone saw him, I'm sure that they would run!
His boss man, he really laid them down,
Only time he'll stop it to load another round
