| Song lyrics |
Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say
“Oh God, don’t let him pull it”
Please God, don’t let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it
How could you take his life away?
(What makes you think you have the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(to take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own,
I cried alone
And scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
“God why’d you let him do it?”
How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it
How could you take his life away?
(What makes you think you have the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(to take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own,
I cried alone
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet
On the side of a bullet

this song is about a band with 2 brothers. while they were playing, the singer got shot and the other one, the guitar player, just kept playing while his brother was dying. this is a tribute to that. | 09-05-2006 20:23 bluegirl1 |  40 posts

Nickelback wrote the song in memory of Dimebag Darrell. We went and saw them in concert in Kansas City and Chad said that during the introduction of the song. They had a photo slide show of Dimebag going as they played the song. It actually made the song make more since after he said that. It's a great song in memory of a GREAT musican.  | 11-10-2006 03:52 nadzie |  1 posts

This song is tribute to Dimebag Darrell, the former Pantera Guitarist who was shot while performing on Stage in Ohio with his other band Damageplan. Gunman Nathan Gale came onto the stage where Dimebag was playing during a their first song, in front of a crowd of 250 fans and shot Dimebag from only 6ft away in the head.
The reference to a brother in Nickelback's tribute refers to Dimebag's brother who also played in Damageplan, and was on stage with Dimebag at the time of the shooting. 5 people in total were killed this night including the gunman who was shot by a policeman while holding a member of the crowd hostage.
This is an amazing, and touching song written in anger by Nickelback. I saw them play in Brisbane, Australia and too saw the slideshow someone else mentioned. I was very moved by it. This is a great song.
RIP Dimebag. | 02-02-2007 21:55 habanerofire |  2 posts
| I first heard this song the beginning of december 2005. that thanksgiving, one of my good friends was shot in the head by one of his "friends." He was with 2 other guys, and they were cleaning guns.
David and one fo the guys were on the couch. The third guy was behind them in the kitchen, supposedly. David was killed when he was shot "on accident" by the guy "in the kitchen." but the bullet went in through his throat and came out the back of his head. tell me, if the shooter was in the ktchen, behind David, HOW did the bullet hit his throat???
Me, and everyone else, thinks it was murder. But my point in all this was this: I had this song on at work, when Paul, David's best friend, came into the room. He heard this song and broke down. He threw the CD player out the back door. It is a really powerful song.
The next day Paul came back to work, and he didnt say anything. He just walked up to the table, and set something down. When I went over there to see what it was, a chill ran down my spine. It was, guess, a bullet with David's killer's name on it. | 25-03-2007 05:23 Vikholm |  1 posts

I just recently found out what this song was about, didn't much care for the song before but it kinda makes sense why they had a sample from one of dime's solos in the song.
A great song about a great performer. | 12-10-2009 00:33 today4today |  1 posts

I hate to correct you, but I just watched the nickelback dvd and this song was made for Dimebag Darryl. He was shot on stage with his new band Damageplan. |
