Friendly Fire

We were partners in crime spending our days

Serving our time in the usual way

And we went behind the lines to even the score

I won the battle but you won the war



I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a real high flyer

Then I was killed by friendly fire



A shot rang out and knocked me flat

Ain't no coming back from a lick like that

I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue

I never did believe my assassin would be you



I got the message down the wire

That I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire



We were partners in crime spending our days

Serving our time in the usual way

And we went behind the lines to even the score

I won the battle but you won the war



I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a real high flyer

Then I was killed by friendly fire



That shot rang out and knocked me flat

Ain't no coming back from a lick like that

I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue

I never did believe my assassin would be you



I got the message down the wire

That I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire
