My Lifes Burden - Suburbia Lyrics

Shots fired
Intentions are known
Respect ain't given
It's something you earn
Kid walkin round
Pissed off at the world
Shootin off at the mouth
For a thrill
You just a kid
You think that you're hard
You a punk
You ain't got no heart
Blood on your hands can't begin to fix
Make a choice on your own, let alone even right that
It's suicide to play this game
It's your way of life yet it's insane
How many times
Have you walked this road
Leading to nowhere
Nowhere to go
It's not too late to make a change
To grow up
Step up to the plate
Put the gun down and
Walk away
Before you find yourself in a Box
Before you find yourself stuck with a knife
This ain't living
It's no kind of life
The way you're headed
You're ready to die
How bout you give life a try
Day by day
Just take it slow
You got what takes to be better you got that
All the while you're feeling hopeless
Some of the time you forget how to act
Go ahead and pull the trigger don't hold back
Do it like you really mean it
Don't hold back
Everything that ever mattered
Gone in a flash
Go ahead and pull the trigger
Can't take it back

Go ahead and pull the trigger
Don't hold back
Do it like you really mean it
Don't hold back
Everything that ever mattered
Gone in a flash
Go ahead and pull the trigger
Can't take it back

Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Suburban life ain't quite, what it used to be
Pushers, violence, drugs
Death and poverty
Suburban life ain't quite
What it used to be
Pushers, violence, drugs
Death and poverty
You can't take it back
Once you've taken a life
You can't take it back
Once you've pulled the trigger

The war's right here in your neighborhoods
Tearing apart all that was good
Hopeless terror, despair, and fear
How the hell we end up here
So many reasons that seem to be to blame
In the end it's all a shame
One more life come to end
One more life come to a halt
Maybe there's a better way Maybe there's a better way
To stop the killing and ease the pain
To stop the killing and ease the pain
Maybe we could get along Maybe we could get along
No longer live in fear
No longer live in fear

Go ahead and pull the trigger
Don't hold back
Do it like you really mean it
Don't hold back
Everything that ever mattered Gone in a flash
Go ahead and pull the trigger
Can't take it back
Go ahead and pull the trigger
Don't hold back
Do it like you really mean it
Don't hold back
Everything that ever mattered
Gone in a flash
Go ahead and pull the trigger
Can't take it back

Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Suburban life ain't quite
What it used to be
Pushers, violence, drugs
Death and poverty
Suburban life ain't quite
What it used to be
Pushers, violence, drugs
Death and poverty
We live, we lie
We live, we die
We live, we lie
We live, we die
