Matraca Berg - Guns In My Head Lyrics

The world explodes in violence
While the angels cry in vain
'Cause they know the enemy is silent
And knows us all by name, all by name

She's living in the suburbs
She's watching in the dark
There's a finger on the trigger
And it's pointed at my heart, at my heart

Take away all weapons, pray for peace and truth
Bury all the bullets and tell me what I do with these

Guns in my head at war with my soul while I sleep in my bed
Oh, these guns in my head, fear, ignorance and anger
Oh, these guns in my head are what keep me in anger

I see you on the freeway
I see you on the street
I look away from you
You look away from me, away from me

We nurture our suspicion
A little more each day
Somewhere between the black and white
We struggle in the gray

And I bargain like a salesman
Every Sunday on my knees
I pray for the world's salvation
And all that answers me are these

Guns in my head at war with my soul while I sleep in my bed
Oh, these guns in my head, fear, ignorance and anger
Oh, these guns in my head are what keep me in anger
