( Assassination song lyrics )
TARGET ON HIS BACK
Copyright © 2008 - mickterry.com

1: I make no excuses. I've no prejudice or hate.
I'm paid well for my uses
when the need is to eliminate.
There are few jobs I'll turn down.
If the money's right, I'll do them all.
But this one's a showdown. And I didn't want the call.

2: I make no excuses, no political restraints.
I tend to be reclusive.
Clients never seem- to complain.
I've no moral complications.
I'm not bothered by- moral thoughts.
But this one's castration: I'd be killed before I'm caught.

CHORUS:
With a target on his back, did he ask to be attacked?
Is it just because he's black or for some other reason?
It the target of his skin to some people such a sin
that they need to do him in by some patriotic treason?

3: I make no excuses. I never ride the fence.
But if I should refuse this,
will I still meet with an accident?
They can't let me just walk on
knowing someone's going to do this hit.
Can't let me just talk on, maybe blow their plan to bits.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
Either way I'm screwed, even if I won't.
Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
Either way I'm screwed, even if I won't.

4: I make no excuses. I can't take it to the Feds.
No way they'd cut me loose as
there're five warrants out there on my head.
As the motorcade approaches,
through my scope I caref'ly take a bead,
and take out the poacher who has got his sights on me.
CHORUS:
