Michael Ward With Dogs and Fishes - Bad Guy Bullets (A Lockdown Journal)

I played a shut in for a good long while
My high time was walking the dog at the end of the day
Then back again to my solitary domicile
I let the television light the room
I've just been letting it play

The scene is set for the rest of the night
A fat joint about as big as a log and a bottle of beer
Find the channel that reliably illuminates
All this mystery and gloom
Is making many things clear

Like how bad guy bullets got misdirection
No worries for the leading man
Leading men don't need protection
They're written into the master plan

You got your stakeout on a dead-end street
Hunkered down for a week or two while the perps come and go
Nobody wonders what the neighbors might be thinking
'Cause you can see 'em but they can't see you
It's something they don't know

Like how bad guy bullets got misdirection
No worries for the leading man
Not a one of them needs correction
They're written into the master plan

Cars chasing through the middle of town
On the sidewalk should be mowing 'em down but a quick cutaway
To a fruit stand in Technicolor harmony
Scattered everywhere and all around
While our boy gets away

Bad guy bullets got misdirection
No worries for the leading man
Leading men don't need protection
They're written into the master plan
Bad guy bullets got misdirection
No worries for the leading man
By natural selection
They're written into the master plan
