Smoking Gun

What's this life for anyway They say stop and pray Mortality's only a nuisance When you're beneath the smoking gun What's this life for anyway They say stop and pray Mortality's only a nuisance When you're beneath the smoking gun Two hours before I clock-in Tryin'a write a song Where to begin Too many concepts to try to express In a song that you'll listen to a minute or less See we got kids teaching kids how to be horrible people We think we're better than everyone else, unequal Whether you serve yourself or you serve a steeple You're not original, you're the sequel (You're not original, you're a sequel You're not original, you're a sequel You're not original, you're a sequel) You're smarter than everyone else just because of what you think What you do, what you say, what you eat, what you drink Arrogance must have died and gave you his crown Eating expensive food doesn't make you profound You see you got it all mixed up in your head It's not about what you say, it's what's left unsaid Caring to care but not for the sake of it Feeling to feel, but not just to covet (Caring to care but not for the sake of it Feeling to feel, but not just to covet Caring to care but not for the sake of it Feeling to feel, but not just to covet) What's this life for anyway They say stop and pray Mortality's only a nuisance When you're beneath the smoking gun What's this life for anyway They say stop and pray Mortality's only a nuisance When you're beneath the smoking gun What's the point in being polite Are you afraid to start a fight tonight in the spotlight You should say something real Say how you feel Even when they don't expect the reveal People are only shocked to see who you really are Because they don't wear their darkness on their sleeves Black and white on the inside It's who we are This truth only some can perceive But you see some people can't fight it They got scars and bruises to deep to hide it What they can't hide makes them strong, steadfast Our lack of transparency, dishonesty makes them outcast (Our lack of transparency makes them outcast Our lack of transparency makes them outcast Our lack of transparency makes them outcast Our lack of transparency)
