Gun In Your Hand Lyrics - Lagwagon

You jump in front of the bullet 

The family put you to it 

You might survive the first thousand shots 

Back to the end of the line 

You hold the will to survive them 

Answer to those you have failed 

Time to clean your room and show you are able to stop 

Beating yourself down 

You've arrived 

A wealth of respect, a world of a regard 

You've always belonged 

You have to go on 

I just want you to feel the gun in your hand 

You used to hold aspiration 

You couldn't see the limitations 

Even in your youth you were unsurpassed 

But driven by grief and it couldn't last 

Sometimes promise 

Sometimes goodbye 

Confessed to all through bloodshot eyes 

I just want you to feel the gun in your hand yeah 

It only breaks you until you get off 

I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself to live 

It's all so average until you get off 

I'm not gonna wait here until the body's cold 

I was young too I felt just like you 

Hated authority, hated all my bosses 

Thought they were full of shit 

Well it's like they say: 

If you're not a rebel at the age of twenty, 

You got no heart 

But if you haven't turned establishment by thirty, 

You got no brains 

Because there are no storybook romances 

No... fairy tale endings 

so before you run out to change the world, 

(I just want you to feel the gun in your hand) 

Ask yourself: 

What do you really want?
