Joe Bought a Gun

Joe bought a gun
Heart pounding in the morning sun
Sweat shining in his frown, I can see it now
The face of what's about to come

'Cause Joe had a dream
The earth was shaking, crumbling into the sea
And when the dust was settling
The people lost their minds to sin

You're not the boy I knew from before
Waiting for the wolves at your door
I can't reach you anymore
'Cause sooner or later, it's all gonna come undone
Yeah, sooner or later, you're gonna pull out that gun

Joe bought a gun
Joe bought a gun

Run, rabbit, run
Lock the doors and hide the young
Too late to hear the sirens ringing out
When Joe bought a gun

You're not the boy I knew from before
Waiting for the wolves at your door
I can't read you like I used to
Sooner or later, it's all gonna come undone
Sooner or later, you're gonna pull out that gun

Joe bought a gun
Run, rabbit, run
Joe bought a gun
Run, rabbit, run
Rabbit run
Rabbit run
