Gun Has No Trigger

If you had looked, you might have just seen them

Stretched in the background

You'd see the oceans swell

And the mountains shook



You'd see a million colors

If you really looked

Now quick the night draws near

Her curtain spreads quicker

The safety's off



But the gun has no trigger.

If you had looked, you'd be no one's coward

Distance, justice, power

You'd glimpse the password



You wouldn't need the book

You'd own both slave and master

If you just had looked

But now the banks all closed



And nothing gets bigger

The crowd will yell

But the gun has no trigger.

If you had looked, you might reconsider



Or just maybe you already have

They watch you sleeping

You watch their garbage cook

You'd weep a bowl of tears

If you had looked



But now the gate comes down

The pangs are growing dimmer

You hold a gun to your head

But the gun has no trigger
