The Gun

Sonata Arctica

Back then it was only fun, something we´d always done

Smash it up, the then you run, all that without a gun

But something came up one day, some bills you couldn't pay

And you got carried away, oh so far away



They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya

They make your father singing hallelujah

I wanna help ya, so let me help ya

I gotta ask you, buddy, where did you find the gun?



I ask everybody have they seen ya

You tell 'em you are fine, and they believe ya

Gimme a call, and I see thru ya, you wasted your life

Where did you find the gun?



Holy-mans only son, your mother on iron-lung

No money anyone, but now you´ve got the gun

Stick up on 2nd street, I heard your running feet

Lay down, get a seat, and beg them for mercy



They wanna use ya, they wanna lose ya

They make your father singing hallelujah

I wanna help ya, so let me help ya

I gotta ask you, buddy, where did you find the gun?



I ask everybody have they seen ya

You tell 'em you are fine, and they believe ya

Gimme a call, and I see thru ya, you wasted your life

Where did you find the gun?



By an accident you find yourself

From the slammer with too much friends

You shot an officer, you shot him down

Now your young life is gone

You're older than you are, you're gone

Because you had the gun!



I ask everybody have they seen ya

You tell 'em you are fine, and they believe ya

Gimme a call, and I see thru ya, you wasted your life

Where did you find the gun?



They try to make you pay and they will find ya

You try to hide away but they have seen ya

Rest while you can believe me now

You gotta run for your life

Where did you find the gun?



…find the gun, where did you find the gun?
