lyrics

He lies wide awake
With his life at stake
Rifle aimed at miscellaneous shapes
He’s shaking unsure which shot
He should take

Burning like the blistering sun
Got a temperature a hundred and one
He can feel his fever
Creeping up about to break

He’s propped himself against a rock
Got a good viewpoint with a few blind spots
He can hear em’ screaming
When will he learn

Tell momma that I’m on my way
I should be there by the end of the day
Oh why the hell did I have
To take that wrong turn

Well I hope they hear me loud and clear
I ain’t going down by anything less than a cavalry
Well I hope they hear me loud and clear
Gonna take a little bit more
Than a couple light slams to rattle me

What do you do when what your used to abusing
Is refusing to cooperate in the way you once knew
What happens now when the lights go out
When there’s no-one around
Will this tree make sound
If it goes crashing down completely out of view

Do I put my head in the sand
If it doesn’t go exactly to plan
How the hell am I supposed to plow through

Well I hope they hear me loud and clear
I ain’t going down by anything less than a cavalry
Well I hope they hear me loud and clear
Gonna take a little bit more
Than a couple light slams to rattle me

Will you sell yourself out
Or will they throw you through the window
Don’t go out without a bang I say
Will you turn your music down
Or will you play it even louder
Will you bow out gracefully

High time for the final stand
We all want to see what you
Can really do with your hands
And if you wouldn’t mind keeping it moving
Time ain’t waiting man

Hope you’ve got something clever in store
I bet you leave em’ begging for more
No reason not to give it everything you can

Well I hope they hear me loud and clear
I ain’t going down by anything less than a cavalry
Well I hope they hear me loud and clear
Gonna take a little bit more
Than a couple light slams to rattle me

Will you sell yourself out
Or will they throw you through the window
Don’t go out without a bang I say
Will you turn your music down
Or will you play it even louder
Will you bow out gracefully

Make me an offer that I can’t refuse
I’ve got nothing to lose but my way
Make me an offer that I can’t refuse
I’ve got nothing to lose but my way
