I came into this world, and I tried what I pleased
His shot rang with a low, I fell on my knees
I managed to stand, finally walk away
I ain't stopped hiding, not since that day
And the jealous gun comes a hunting
One purpose to track me down
I hear his footsteps now I'm off running
And this trap you call the world
Is driving me underground
Turning me upside down
You'll find those running wild
Kill only to survive
Still man preserves destruction
Killing off wildlife
Your crime is bitter
Your crime is as bitter
As the hearts you melt
As these hearts you melt
You've got it funny
Your gun's about as funny
As a cry for help
As a cry for help
Help me, help me
And the jealous gun comes a hunting
One purpose to track me down
I'm running naked through the jungle
And this trap you call the world
Is driving me underground
Turning me upside down
Oh, jealousy
Jealousy
So we run
We both run from the hunter
And we flee
He's bullet-free
I have a word for you, hunter
I see you hard on my trail
I'll dynamite your visions
Blow up your animal trail
Hot animal trail
I hide in the wolves' den
Hot, hot devil
Eyes glowing like embers
Can't stop running
And carpet creatures won't forget
What this guard one remembers
Still the jealous gun comes a hunting
One purpose to track me down
I hear his footsteps
Now I'm off running
And this trap you call the world
Is driving me underground
Turning me upside down
Down
Oh, jealousy
Hunting down you and me
Save me, save me, save me
Save me, save me, save me
Oh, I see him coming
Jealous gun, he's got me running
He's got me running, save me
There's a jealous gun, he's got me running
Save me, save me, save me
Here he comes again
Jealous gun, he's got me running
Save me, save me, save me
