We were partners in crime
spending our days, serving our time
in the usual way
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
