Trigger

lyrics

Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger when the
Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger

Nobody’s in charge, no one to blame
Just a different level of the same
The speeches only reach your ears
Just a bigger megaphone for your

Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger

Your body’s alone with your brain
Cannot resist the need to drain
The swamp that’s leaking out your ears
Just another metaphor for

Your gut reactions and public tantrums
You’re puffin’ up when you should be backin’ down
You can’t relate to the ones that follow you
You risk it all with the words you throw around
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Hold me down, say goodnight
Tell me softly it’ll be alright
My finger’s shakin’
The fear has taken
Over my hands but
My people understand

Fear takes its toll, takes control of the trigger finger
Ego takes hold, can’t leggo, pulls the trigger

Somebody is not being polite
That same certain someone rules in spite
Of what we all know to be right
Just another bigot with a mic

My gut reaction is to subtract him
Just hit delete and go on my merry way
The less exposure, the less you get closer
I taped your mouth by not hearing what you say
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
