We read on the plaque who we stabbed in the back and
I'm touching my face in the emptiest place
We ran it off track and now we're catching the flack and
When the sabo escapes, you've gotta pick up the pace

Detective one to number two
He says, "We need to think this through
And I'm told, that's a million dollar bullet hole"
The twentieth passes and nobody knows and
They're buying new cars and they're buying new clothes
The final shot happens and nobody hears
'Cause the kids are too good, so they covered their ears

I trace the plaque up to Jose
There is a hole instead of a name
And to the right it is the same
This is what those bullets became

The cameras turn on and now, so do the lights and
The mornings get long, and so do the nights
We wrote out a story and made up some fights and
We put out the hook and we're seeing who bites

Detective one to number two
He says, "I think we've got our clue
And I'm told, that's a million dollar bullet hole"

Brother one to number two
He says, "It's time to tell the truth
We've gone and done it, we've sold our souls
To a million dollar bullet hole"

Lawyer one to number two:
"Let's drop our cash and spin the view
A little green could give us control
Of a million dollar bullet hole"

Witness one to number two
They took the cash, what else to do
Two violent boys for them to extol
For a bit of that bullet hole

We threw out the plaque and we don't want it back and
I'm touching my face in the loneliest place
We ran it off track and we were called out as hacks
I gotta whole lot of things that I wanna erase (x4)

I trace the plaque up to my name
And there's a hole just like Jose
My brother's name is just the same
This is what those bullets became
