This Town Needs Guns Lyrics

I never had the patience for guided meditation

and I fostered my relations with prescription medication

I've got Jameson and Codeine sweetly singing me to sleep

and I'm not in the mood for company, so would you please just let me be?

Tiptoe along the precipice of your faith and pride and prejudice

My vices ain't my enemies, I'm not proud of them but I'm proud of me.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your god and death and ignorance

It must be in our alchemy to bite whatever hand that feeds.

Sit and drink and think while you take stock

Are you down on your luck or completely fucked?

Are you giving in or are you giving up?

You've got a whole lot of woes in that half-full cup.

So who's going to have the all blood on their hands

When we manage to fuck up the master plan?

I'm not so sure we've got this figured out,

When the bad thoughts come with the creeping doubts,

I'm not so sure that we have got this figured out,

When things never were quite as bad as they are now.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your faith and pride and prejudice

My vices ain't my enemies, I'm not proud of them but I'm proud of me.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your god and death and ignorance

It must be in our alchemy to bite whatever hand that feeds.

You've gotta' swing back at the heart attack,

Ya' got 10 years clear, it'll take you back

School shot up on a routine traffic stop,

Or get your block knocked off in the gridlock,

Tried to play God but that was no fun, so listen son,

This town needs guns.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your faith your pride your prejudice

My vices ain't my enemies, I'm not proud of them but I'm proud of me.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your god and death and ignorance

It must be in our alchemy to bite whatever hand that feeds.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your faith and pride and prejudice

My vices ain't my enemies, I'm not proud of them but I'm proud of me.

Tiptoe along the precipice of your god and death and ignorance

It must be in our alchemy to bite whatever hand that feeds.
