under the gun lyrics

As the world is caving in
From the pressures of the day
And you feel that you can't win
But you know you'll have to stay

We have to toe the line
It's so hard to take the pace
You're a better man than I
In the perfect human race

So we live under the gun
We live under the gun

See the writing on the wall
In the city's caves of steel
Hear the echoes of the night
Will the anger ever heal?

So we live under the gun
We live under the gun

We live under the gun
We live

Your mind control, your gift of lies
You, brother, dear we're screaming
You said you cared, we needed you
You, mother, now you're leaving

So we live under the gun
We live under the gun

We live under the gun
We live under the gun
