I woke up this morning
but my eyes wouldn’t open
and I knew that I was coming undone
So I swept up the pieces
and I found a reason
then I loaded up my Tommy gun
And I went looking for the man
who helped me understand what’s what
It was the way he laid it down
like I hadn’t been around that much
And though I found him laughing
I left that toad-fish gasping
in a roaring river of sludge
Then I beat up all his brothers
and I swived all his lovers
and I left a pistol for his son
Because the day will come to pass
when that boy begins to grasp
what’s been done
And when that moment finally comes
I want that child to try his luck
They say that I’m a menace
like a shark in Venice
but I’m only trying to have my fun
So don’t you call me a coward
I don’t shoot guns for power
it’s just the way I like to get things done
I could argue you’re a fool
for playing by the rules of love
And I will growl just like a tiger
before I open fire on your doves
And if you don’t respect me
then I will come directly
and transport you to a world of harm
and if you think I’m fooling
then I think you need some schooling
on the finer points of dying hard
it’s just the way that you look at my face
it drives me insane
now I gotta’ fine something stronger
to block this pain
And so each morning ever after
I lay awake and court disaster
Sometimes my mind’s a giant bucket of shit
Yeah, I know that I create it
but that doesn’t mean I face it
with a single ounce of reverence
They’re just the things I seem to think of
when I’m struggling to pull my load
And I know that it’s distressing
but I feel better to have told you so
(mmmMMMmmm
mmmMMMmmm
mmmMMMmmm
mmmMMMmmm)
Get a little bit quieter now
just a little bit quieter now
get a lotta’ bit quieter now
just a little bit quieter now
Get a little bit louder now
Get a little’ bit louder now
just a little bit louder now
stop...
