SCOTT MORGAN AND THE HELLACOPTERS - 16 with a bullet

16 WITH A BULLET (Scott Morgan)


Billy grew up down south

his family has some cash

A modern day plantation

I wouldn't call 'em trash

They sent him up to the prep school

To be a doctor man

Forty miles from Detroit

up in Michigan


16 with a bullet

They were glory bound

16 with a bullet

Now they're goin' down


Johnny came from up north

He was city born

Didn't have much money

He wasn't on the dole

His folks owned a grocery

Detroit, Michigan

He worked behind the counter

cashin' bottles in


16 with a bullet

They were glory bound

16 with a bullet

Now they're goin' down


One night Billy walked in

He was packin' heat

Got a taste for drugs

and he can't be beat

Johnny opened up the till

just like the man said

Came up with a pistol

and now they both lay death


16 with a bullet

They were glory bound

16 with a bullet

Now they're goin' down

Well it's just don't matter

Who was wrong or right

And it sure don't matter

who was the black and white

But 16 with a bullet

In the cold hard ground

It's not the way they planned it

But now they're glory bound
