Bulletproof
Psyko Dalek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You shoot us down,
But we get back up from the ground.
We're hittin' hard in the graveyard,
So come on, step up and pick a fight with the Nightbreed.
Ya wanna know why? (Why?)
If you see us fall,
Don't care at all.
So c'mon, c'mon!
Break it down, Before we hand-out some beatdowns,
Knowing at least that you're meat for the beast.
Go with the flow and we bury you alive,
Your body may be dead but your soul will survive.
Ya wanna know why? (Why?)
Coz we're mother fucking Bulletproof.
If you see us fall,
Don't care at all.
Wake up, wake up, livin' in your own town,
You're nothin' but a motherfuckin' clown.
But down here with the Nightbreed,
In the graveyard you can't shoot us down.
Ya wanna know why?
Coz we're mother, fucking, Bullet...
Proof!
