Robots With Guns
they had their guns
and they had their principles
we were in love
yeah we were invincible
or so we thought
even the best of us
shares the delusion
that we were born to win
there’s no time for losing
they’ll hunt us down
run us out of town
they’ll rough us up
and burn up our luck
try to steal our souls
‘cause we’re walking through walls
though we’re destined to fall
we’ll continue to run
from the robots with guns
now i’m shot full of holes
i’m lead bellied for sure
i’ll be shot down, but never locked up
time and money
belong to the shallow
for the real man there is only death
you say what’s the use then
if we’re willing victims
i’ll shoot as many as i can
and see how it fits them
they’ll hunt us down
run us out of town
they’ll rough us up
and burn up our luck
try to steal our souls
‘cause we’re walking through walls
though we’re destined to fall
we continue to run
from the robots with guns
now i’m shot full of holes
i’m lead bellied for sure
i’ll be shot down
but never locked up
never locked up
i’m not a modern man
nor am i old fashioned
just a man escaped of time itself
my only folly was my illumination
they’ll make me pay for trying to let out their secret
they’ll hunt us down
run us out of town
they’ll rough us up
and burn up our luck
try to steal our souls
yeah we’re walking through walls
though we’re destined to fall
i’ll be shot down, but never locked up
