That's When I Reach for My Revolver

Once I had my heroes\nOnce I had my dreams\nBut all of that is changed now\nThe truth begins again\nThe truth is not that comfortable, no\nMother taught us patience\nThe virtues of restraint\nFather taught us boundaries\nThe knowledge we must go\nI’m trying to protect my unity\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThat’s when it all gets blown away\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThe spirit passes by this way\nA friend of mine once told me\nHis one and only aim\nTo build a giant castle\nAnd in it sign his name\nSign it with complete community\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThat’s when it all gets blown away\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThe spirit passes by this way\nNow that the sky is empty\nAnd that is nothing new\nInstead they look upon us\nWhen they tell me\nThat we’re nothing\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver (I say!)\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver (I say!)\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver\nThat’s when I reach for my revolver
