Maybe it's true what they say about it
Maybe we can't make the ends meet
Maybe we'll all have to do without it
Maybe this world's just incomplete

Still we all look for truth in our lives
Searching from different sides
If it's so hard living in a desperate world
But we all do the best that we can

Some people dream a change
Some will remain the same
All of us live their lives
Under the gun

Some see the road as clear
Some say the end is here
They say it's a hopeless fight
But I say, I gotta try

Maybe there's too much to think about
Maybe there just ain't nothing left to say
But if our time's really running out
Then this is no time to run away

'Cause we're destined to look for truth in this life
Blinded by tearful eyes
If it's no use trying in a desperate world
Then tell me, why was I born?

Some people see a change
Some will remain the same
All of us live their lives
Under the gun

Some see the road as clear
Some say the end is here
They say it's a hopeless fight
But I say, I gotta try

Lonely, living so lonely
Is it too late
To turn it all around?

Some people dream a change
Some will remain the same
All of us live their lives
Under the gun

Some see the road as clear
Some say the end is here
They say it's a hopeless fight
But I say, I gotta try

I gotta change
The world just remains the same
All of us live our lives
Under the gun

Someone's sleeping
Someone's giving up

Someone's trying
Someone's crying out
Still we live under the gun
