lyrics

Live by the bullet
You stand by your gun
Preach to the mothers
& They’ll preach to their sons

Duck & keep your head low
But still say mighty high
I’ll take what I need from you
And you’ll take it in stride

I know I’ve told you more than twice
And you’ll start to think it’s a sin
Wastin’ all your precious time
On a man who would be king

You call him a demon
But he came from up above
He whispered in the ears
Of all the filth & scum

You keep biding your time
Listening to what was said
I’ll keep spending all mine
Inside of some girl’s head
