Barrel of a Gun
[Intro: Leo Napier]
Every I time I see the sunshine, oh yeah

[Verse 1: Leo Napier]
When I was a young man, thought I was a genius
Thought everything I thought was a gift, couldn't be taught
Now I know I was just arrogant
When I was a young man, thought I could do anything
Thought I could go to space, thought I could be police
Thought I could be the president
Well maybe it was bad luck, maybe there was bad drugs
But I came reticent
I was sticking out my chest but lacking that finesse
Lacking that experience, aw yeah

[Chorus: Leo Napier]
Though I know I'm going blind, I can't stop staring at the sun
The only paradise is find is the barrel of a gun
(Make the sun shine)

[Post-Chorus: Leo Napier]
The only way the sun is gonna shine

[Verse 2: Leo Napier]
Nobody's gonna save me, nobody 'cept for me, yeah
Nobody's gonna hand me a check for fifty grand and pull me from the deep end
I might be goin' crazy, this room is going wavy
But I'll be searchin' through my mind for that peace I left behind
'Til I'm pushin' up the daisies
At least I got my shadow, yeah
Shepherd to the promise land
Give me sanctuary
Where still waters carry my soul away from flooding rains
Oh, it's bound to break a levee, oh now
[Chorus: Leo Napier]
Take back all your borrowed time, I think I finally had my fun
The only paradise I've yet to find is the barrel of a gun
The only high that's worth my time is the barrel of a gun
The only way the sun is gonna shine is through the barrel of a gun

[Post-Chorus: Leo Napier]
Least I got my shadow, yeah
The only way the sun is gonna shine
Take back all your borrowed time
The only high that's worth my time
Give me sanctuary
I can't stop staring at the sun
