Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Paman Sam mengajarinya menembak
Maybe a little too well
Mungkin terlalu baik
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
Jari di pelatuk, peluru siap tembak
He hit the stage so full of rage
Dia melangkah ke panggung dengan penuh kemarahan
And let the whole world know it
Dan memberi tahu seluruh dunia tentangnya
Six feet away, they heard him say
Enam kaki jauhnya, mereka mendengarnya berkata
"Oh God, don't let him pull it"
"Oh Tuhan, jangan biarkan dia menariknya"

Please God, don't let him pull it
Tolong Tuhan, jangan biarkan dia menariknya
How could you put us through it?
Bagaimana bisa kau membuat kami mengalami ini?
His brother watched you do it
Saudara laki-lakinya melihat kau melakukannya

How could you take his life away?
Bagaimana bisa kau mengambil nyawanya?
How could you be so full of hate?
Bagaimana bisa kau begitu penuh kebencian?
And when I heard you let him die
Dan saat aku mendengar kau membiarkannya mati
And made the world all wonder why
Dan membuat seluruh dunia bertanya-tanya mengapa
I sat at home and on my own,
Aku duduk di rumah sendirian,
I cried alone
Aku menangis sendirian

And scratched your name
Dan menggores namamu
On the side of a bullet
Di sisi peluru

And in the wake of his mistake
Dan setelah kesalahannya
So many lives are broken
Begitu banyak hidup yang hancur
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
Hilang selamanya akibat peluru siap tembak
And no excuse that you could use
Dan tidak ada alasan yang bisa kau gunakan
Could pull somebody through it
Dapat menyelamatkan seseorang dari ini
And to this day so many say
Hingga hari ini banyak yang berkata
"God why'd you let him do it?"
"Tuhan, kenapa kau biarkan dia melakukannya?"

How could you let him do it?
Bagaimana bisa kau biarkan dia melakukannya?
How could you put us through it?
Bagaimana bisa kau membuat kami mengalami ini?
His brother watched him do it
Saudara laki-lakinya melihat dia melakukannya

How could you take his life away?
Bagaimana bisa kau mengambil nyawanya?
How could you be so full of hate?
Bagaimana bisa kau begitu penuh kebencian?
And when I heard you let him die
Dan saat aku mendengar kau membiarkannya mati
And made the world all wonder why
Dan membuat seluruh dunia bertanya-tanya mengapa
I sat at home and cried alone
Aku duduk di rumah dan menangis sendirian
and on my own
dan sendirian
I scratched your name
Aku menggores namamu
On the side of a bullet [X3]
Di sisi peluru [X3]
