Friendly Fire Lyrics

    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

    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 shot 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 assasin 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
