I knew a man with a son Who bought him a gun
And learned shorty just how to use it
Taught him hunting and skinning, right from the beginning
Built himself a mighty fine killer
But shorty got picked on, beat on and kicked on
And all his classmates wanna punk him
So with tears in his eye, readin' Catcher In The Rye
He told his old man he went hunting
And he felt so free, like his destiny
Lay somewhere out on the horizon
His heart went cold, he felt a hundred years old
And started pulling back on the trigger
I think I'm gonna die today
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong, go so wrong?
(What's it gonna take for you to really make it in life?)
See me (see me), hear me (hear me) But don't touch me
You should fear me, loved your life dearly
'Cause I'm seriously disturbed, that's my word
Straight to my mother Wait, my brother
Who found another one to play sucker
'Cause I ain't the one Put shade in your sun
And took all your shine
Watch me get mine, feel my love burn
me for my sins, watch the world turn
The saga begins, losses and wins
Angels and ends, dancin' on top
the head of a pin
Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been
I can't hear a sound
I clapped a full round I came to get down
I came to get dirty, I came to get even
I think I'm gonna die today
Everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
I think I'm gonna die today
Everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
Think I'm gonna die today
and everyone who hurt me's gonna pay
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?
Momma, don't cry
Please, Momma, don't cry
Momma, don't cry, you did nothing wrong
