You're walkin' 'round like a doll without a head You should be thinking 'bout how to give your love instead I've seen you lying and cheating your way Then you complain about what all of your friends say You shoot your mouth like you damn well own the world We always have to keep our little white flags unfurled Just try to finish the things that you start Stop thinking with your fists and start thinking with your heart Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world Things have to be attempted one step at a time You got to take that poison from your eyes You know the lights are going out in your life Your killing yourself with your own knife Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world You don't want a love you need a chaperone You want a first-class alibi You bore the pants off people on the telephone People are sick of your lies You better open your eyes You're like a gun turned on the world, like a gun You're takin' one step forward then two steps back Friendly advice gets treated like a heart attack You can drown in the shallow water of hate Get the sense before it's too late now Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world Oh can't you see Oh what you could be now You never listen to me Oh you're like a gun turned on the world
