The Wrong End of the Gun Lyrics

Put some money on the game, 'cause you never know

They're never gonna win, 'cause the spirit's low, low, low

Oh nothing works, nothing works, nothing works around here

I lost it yesterday, and I'm about to lose it again

There's a river of noise running through my brain

Like an endless ring that slowly drives me insane

All the lights are on but all I see is black

I could use some poison to clear my goddamn head

And it kicks in

Like a fever

Oh oh misery

As strong as gravity

Oh oh sorrow

Like a shadow hanging over me

In this 24 hour run

I'm at the wrong end of the gun

There's always some mad stuff going on

Always a hitch, something going all wrong

And there's no music when the needle drops

Just the dreadful sound of ticking clocks

And it kicks in

Like a fever

Oh oh misery

As strong as gravity

Oh oh sorrow

Like a shadow hanging over me

Oh oh misery

You're not a stranger to me

Oh oh sorrow

Like a shadow clinging on to me

And it kicks in

Like a fever

Oh oh misery

As strong as gravity

Oh oh sorrow

Like a shadow hanging over me

Oh misery

Come on now, set me free

Oh oh sorrow

Don't come back tomorrow

In this 24 hour run

I'm at the wrong end of the gun

I'm at the wrong end of the gun

I hang on to my ego

Pretend this ain't real

But up jumps the devil

And he goes for the kill

The noise, it increases

Until I give in

As the level goes up

I'm taking the pill

And nothing looks real

Nothing looks real

Nothing looks real

Nothing looks real
