That's When I Reach For My Revolver Lyrics

Once I had my heroes

 Once I had my dreams

 But all of that is changed now

 The truth begins again

 The truth is not that comfortable, no

 Mother taught us patience

 The virtues of restraint

 Father taught us boundaries

 The knowledge we must go

 I'm trying to protect my unity

 

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 That's when it all gets blown away

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 The spirit passes by this way

 

 A friend of mine once told me

 His one and only aim

 To build a giant castle

 And in it sign his name

 Sign it with complete community

 

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 That's when it all gets blown away

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 The spirit passes by this way

 

 Now that the sky is empty

 And that is nothing new

 Instead they look upon us

 When they tell me

 That we're nothing

 I say!

 

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 That's when it all gets blown away

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 The spirit passes by this way

 

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 That's when it all gets blown away

 That's when I reach for my revolver

 The spirit passes by this way
