My fault is I'm alive
In a world that doesn't make sense
Too much anger aimed at "who?"
Too much violence
I can be evil, it doesn't take much brains
All the while watching the world burn up in flames
I can be happy about it, it doesn't mean much to me
What the hell are we fighting for if it's not peace?
Running away from this avenue
All because I'm afraid to
Terror has me clutched in it's grip
Holding tightly around my neck
No positives, just negatives I see
except this gun I hold around my waist
I feel secure, so does my family
I'll **** you in a blink of an eye
If you try to come between us and our home
Am I evil for protecting what's right
Or is there much more to the story?
The one where I give out love with my hand gun
Like it ever came down that I cared
I care who I place first in my life
And right now you aren't in it
Call me mean or a hypocrite
I really don't mind
But for now it's about saving lives
I feel everyone should carry
It would beΒ like the old west
A lot more people would think twice
Of who to **** with
