I was cold, I was hungry
I had no roof to protect me.

Now hey little girl, do you see what I got?
Come and live with me in my china shop
I've got money, we could have fun
There's a bullet in a gun that makes a man run
Bullet in a gun that makes a man run.

I was four when you left me,
And the sky fell down upon me,

But hey little boy, you know it's just life
Some gotta leave so some survive
Father passes to his son,
It's a bullet in a gun that makes a man run
Bullet in a gun that makes a man run

No guarantees, no not for me
Guarantees, no not for me
Just time to breathe, just time to leave
Guarantees, no not for me.

I was caught, I was quartered
I was hung, drawn and quartered.

But hey little girl, you know it's just life
Some gotta leave so some survive
Didn't we marry? Didn't we have fun?
It's a bullet in a gun that makes a man run
Bullet in a gun that makes a man run [x3]
Bullet in a gun

No guarantees, no not for me
Guarantees, no not for me
Just time to breathe, just time to leave
Guarantees, no not for me.

Bullet in a gun that makes a man run [x8]
