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 |
