UB40 Lyrics

Album: Guns In The Ghetto

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 

Then I was killed by friendly fire
