lyrics

Now the anthem you're looking for is still in the works
I haven't had the time to finish it
And although it hurts me to say
That I may not finish, and the war horns are blowing
You can take these sheets of paper
I don't need them where I'm going

I've got nowhere to turn, they've backed me up against a wall.
And I feel the rush, take a breath and open fire on them all.
So let me climb because you know that's why I'm still alive.
Davey don't you fire til you see the whites of their eyes.

Now the house lights are dimming. And the silence quickly falls.
And the lines you've practiced a thousand time can't compare to what the situation calls for. The big show's tonight, and you thought you were prepared. But the preparation was nothing compared to what it takes to be this great. So shut your mouth and load that gun, I tell you baby, we're gonna have some fun.

I've got nowhere to turn. They've backed me up against a wall.
And I feel the rush, take a breath and open fire on them all.
So let me climb because you know that's why I'm still alive.
Davey don't you fire til you see the whites of their eyes.

So let me climb because you know that's why I'm still alive.
Davey don't you fire til you see the whites of their eyes.

I've got nowhere to turn. They've backed me up against a wall.
And I feel the rush, take a breath and open fire on them all.
So let me climb because you know that's why I'm still alive.
Davey don't you fire til you see the whites of their eyes.
