Every 6 minutes
Someone says "no"
Every 6 minutes
She gets ignored
It's not what you're wearing
Its not where you've been
The fact that they think so
Tells you somethin' bout sin

Every 6 minutes
A woman cries
Because every 6 minutes
Her pleas are denied

No one's asking for it
It's no woman's secret desire
The fact that they think so
Is a man-made liar

Chorus
The passing of time
Brings you closer to me
Cause I've got love and justice
Keeps you free
I've got .38 special
Reasons at my side
Face the ultimate "no" big boy
This time I'll decide

If I had a bullet
For every six minutes
I know just where to put it
Every six minutes

Running your heart
And runnin' your brain
Maybe I've gotta start
It just might ease my pain

Chorus
The passing of time
Brings you closer to me
Cause I've got love and justice
Keeps you free
I've got .38 special
Reasons at my side
Face the ultimate "no" big boy
This time I'll decide

If I had a bullet
For every six minutes
I know just where to put it
Every six minutes

If I had a bullet
For every six minutes
I know just where to put it
Every six minutes

Every six minutes
(every six minutes)
