Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 up your room and show you are able to stop Beating yourself down You've arrived A wealth of respect, a world of regard You've always belonged You have to go on I just want you to feel the gun in your hand [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Spoken] I was young too, I felt just like you. Hated authority, hated all my bosses, thought they were full of shit. Look, it's like they say, if you're not a rebel by the age of 20, you got no heart, but if you haven't turned establishment by 30, you've got no brains. Because there are no story-book romances, no fairy-tale endings. So before you run out and change the world, ask yourself, "What do you really want?" [Outro] I just want you to feel the gun in your hand
