Gun Turned On The World

You're walkin' 'round like a doll without a head

You should be thinking 'bout how to give your love instead

I've seen you lying and cheating your way

Then you complain about what all of your friends say

You shoot your mouth like you damn well own the world

We always have to keep our little white flags unfurled

Just try to finish the things that you start

Stop thinking with your fists

And start thinking with your heart

Oh can't you see

Oh what you could be now

You never listen to me

Oh you're like a gun turned on the world

Things have to be attempted one step at a time

You got to take that poison from your eyes

You know the lights are going out in your life

Your killing yourself with your own knife

Oh can't you see

Oh what you could be now

You never listen to me

Oh you're like a gun turned on the world

You don't want a love you need a chaperone

You want a first-class alibi

You bore the pants off people on the telephone

People are sick of your lies

You better open your eyes

You're like a gun turned on the world, like a gun

You're takin' one step forward then two steps back

Friendly advice gets treated like a heart attack

You can drown in the shallow water of hate

Get the sense before it's too late now

Oh can't you see

Oh what you could be now

You never listen to me

Oh you're like a gun turned on the world

Oh can't you see

Oh what you could be now

You never listen to me

Oh you're like a gun turned on the world
