When I hear, laying on the ground
|
A machine gun is sitting on my couch
|
I close my eyes
|
I shut my mouth
|
Well, I can't even hear a sound
|
I don't know if I'm ready for this world
|
I'm not ready for this world
|
|
I knew a girl, it did not last for long
|
She said she changed, she said I, I was not yet grown
|
Well, I went back
|
I had to see
|
But another boy had replaced me
|
I see I'm not ready for this world
|
I'm not ready for this world
|
|
Watched my grandmom get drunk one night
|
We watched TV, it was black and white
|
She said, boy, why don't you trust no one?
|
Your own behind never let you down
|
|
I bought a gun, but it's just for self-defense
|
Mmm, I seen this world, it don't make any sense
|
No more heartache, no more pain
|
Now, no one's hurting me again
|
I'm just getting ready for this world
|
I'm getting ready for this world
|
|
When I hear, laying on the ground
|
A machine gun is sitting on my couch
|
I close my eyes
|
I shut my mouth
|
Well,I can't even hear a sound
|
I don't know, I guess now I'm ready for this world
|
Yeah, I'm ready for this world
|
I'm heading up this world!
