about

Fifth track from The Jack Rubies re-issued debut - 'Witch-Hunt in Lotusland'.
Originally released July 4th 1986 - Now newly remastered and polished up like a diamond!

lyrics

Well I’m Jack
I’m gonna shoot you in the back
I go bang bang, bang bang!
This ain’t the story of John and Lee Harvey
This one’s for me and the ghost of Jack Ruby
You take an eye for an eye, two wrongs for a right
You wear an alligator skin like the fugitive kind
This boy does not believe that to kill is a sin
This boy does not believe that to kill is a sin
He goes bang bang, bang bang!
Bang bang, bang bang!
Jack he got mad, spoiling for a fight
An eye for an eye, two wrongs for a right
He got his finger on the trigger, gonna settle this score
So beware of old Jack if you broken his law
This boy does not believe that to kill is a sin
This boy does not believe that to kill is a sin
(play it for me)
This boy does not believe that to kill is a sin
You know this boy does not believe that to kill is a sin
Well I’m Jack
Gonna shoot you in the back
I go bang bang, bang bang! (repeat)
I’m gonna shoot you in the back
I got the Dallas Blues
I, I got the Dallas Blues
I got so confused
Got so confused
Got so confused
Bang bang, bang bang!
I’m dead
I’m dead
(repeat, ad lib)
