In you I'm lost It's like a weapon Against the present Of self defense Self defense Present tense I won't get heavy Don't get heavy

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy, oh no All around in my home town They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me

Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I? A photograph of you and I Your defenses were on high Your walls built deep inside Yeah, I'm a selfish bastard But at least I'm not alone My intentions never change
