Barrel Of A Gun |
| When I was a young man, thought I was a genius |
| Thought everything I thought was a gift, couldn’t be taught |
| Now I know I was just arrogant |
| When I was a young man, thought I could do anything |
| Thought I could go to space, thought I could be police |
| Thought I could be the president |
| Well maybe it was bad luck, maybe there was bad drugs |
| But I came reticent |
| I was sticking out my chest but lacking that finesse |
| Lacking that experience, aw yeah |
| Though I know I’m going blind, I can’t stop staring at the sun |
| The only paradise is find is the barrel of a gun |
| (Make the sun shine) |
| The only way the sun is gonna shine |
| Nobody’s gonna save me, nobody 'cept for me, yeah |
| Nobody’s gonna hand me a check for fifty grand and pull me from the deep end |
| I might be goin' crazy, this room is going wavy |
| But I’ll be searchin' through my mind for that peace I left behind |
| 'Til I’m pushin' up the daisies |
| At least I got my shadow, yeah |
| Shepherd to the promise land |
| Give me sanctuary |
| Where still waters carry my soul away from flooding rains |
| Oh, it’s bound to break a levee, oh now |
| Take back all your borrowed time, I think I finally had my fun |
| The only paradise I’ve yet to find is the barrel of a gun |
| The only high that’s worth my time is the barrel of a gun |
| The only way the sun is gonna shine is through the barrel of a gun |
| Least I got my shadow, yeah |
| The only way the sun is gonna shine |
| Take back all your borrowed time |
| The only high that’s worth my time |
| Give me sanctuary |
| I can’t stop staring at the sun |
