lyrics

Morning is gonna hit me like a dump truck full of bricks
If I can't make it up to you I think I'm gonna be sick
But I can't vomit all the shit I read,
And I'm still trying to hold onto my seed
So by the breaking of the yolky sun I shot a gun

I bought up all the eyes of the sighted who could see
Locked 'em up in prison cells and kept them close to me
I fed them magic middles and processed snacks
And on their prison walls hung photographs
And when their judgement day did come I shot a gun

Every year I throw you a birthday celebration
Enemies and allies come for destruction and creation
Full of carbonated yellow piss
And knowing they will not remember this
They all hold hands and line up one by one to shoot a gun

I found myself surrounded by places I couldn't have
I traveled across oceans, but I always felt so bad
About all those people living still lives
I couldn't understand wrong from right
But I thought maybe they'd like to have some fun so I gave them guns

Morning is gonna hit me like a baseball off a bat
For all the things I haven't done and all the things I have
I'll probably never see the end result
I'll move away and find a place to sulk
And look a good, broken, native son I'll shoot a gun
I was looking out for number one
I shot a gun
