As the world is caving in From the pressures of the day And you feel that you can't win But you know you'll have to stay We have to toe the line It's so hard to take the pace You're a better man that I In the perfect human race So... we live... under the gun... We live... under the gun See the writing on the wall In the city's caves of steel Hear the echoes of the night Will the anger ever heal? So... we live... under the gun... We live... under the gun... we live... Under the gun... we live... Your mind control, your gift of lies You brother, dear we're screaming You said you cared, we needed you You mother, now you're leaving So... we live... under the gun... We live... under the gun... We live... under the gun... we live... Under the gun...
