(Do you ever have bad dreams? All I have is bad dreams)
|
|
I knew a man with a son
|
Who bought him a gun
|
And learned shortly just how to use it
|
Taught him hunting and skinning
|
Right from the beginning
|
Built himself a mighty fine killer
|
But shorty got picked on
|
Beat on and kicked on
|
And all his classmates wanna punk him
|
So with tears in his eye
|
He read Catcher in the Rye
|
And told his old man he went hunting
|
And he felt so free
|
Like his destiny
|
Lay somewhere out on the horizon
|
His heart went cold
|
He felt a hundred years old
|
And started pulling back on the trigger
|
|
CHORUS:
|
I think I'm gonna die today
|
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
|
How could such a short time feel so long
|
How could such a young life go so wrong
|
|
(What's it gonna take for you to really make it in life?)
|
|
See me
|
Hear me
|
But don't touch me
|
You should fear me
|
Lived your life dearly
|
'Cause I'm seriously disturbed
|
That's my word
|
Straight to my mother
|
Wayne, my brother
|
Who found another one to play sucker
|
'Cause I ain't the one
|
Who put shade in your sun
|
And took all your shine
|
Watch me get mine
|
Feel my love burn
|
Me for my sins
|
Watch the world turn
|
The cycle begins
|
Losses and wins
|
Angels and Jinn*
|
Dancin' on top
|
O' the head of a pin
|
Don't know where I'm going
|
But I know where I've been
|
I can't hear a sound
|
I clapped a full round
|
I came to get down
|
I came to get dirty
|
I came to get even
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Momma, don't cry
|
Please, momma, don't cry
|
Momma, don't cry
|
You did nothing wrong
|
|
*Jinn- Arabic word meaning spirits/demons.
