It's right in the 2nd verse at the beginning.


quote:

Yeah! All around in my home town
They're tryin' to track me down, yeah
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy but I say
Oh, now, now, oh
I shot the sheriff

Yeah! All around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say:


I think he is saying he is being blamed for shooting the deputy. So they are blaming him for a crime he didn't do and someone else is being blamed for a crime he did?

The lyrics are about birth control.


The overall theme is against authority. The sheriff represents anyone in authority.

But yeah the plant the seed and kill it before it grows is supposedly about birth control.
