Lyrics for Target
Uptown, downtown No one's fussy I'm a target Black, white, day, night No one's fussy I'm a target Somebody say I'm crazy Walking in this neighbourhood Say you can't be too careful But that won't do no good I'm no one special But any part of town Someone could smile at me then Shake my hand then gun me down Uptown, downtown No one's fussy I'm a target Black, white, day, night No one's fussy I'm a target Somebody say I'm crazy Living in this crazy town I say maybe you're just lazy Got to either swim or drown I know what I'm doing I'm happy day to day But then something happens Takes my nerve away Uptown, downtown No one's fussy I'm a target Black, white, day, night No one's fussy I'm a target
