Lyrics for If They're Shooting At You
So I said to you, I'm not free I got a mountain falling down on me I got sickness and I've got doubts All the people wanna scream and shout I'm so tired, I'm always on my knees But I'm cold, it's always January In this house and on these streets It's so grey, I can't take it What happened to the life I knew? Swept away (where did you go?) So I said to you I'm busy I got jobs to do that would make you dizzy And I'm juggling all my plates Living far below my estimate People have for me, I'm always failing In my family life I'm always trailing "Come to me", you said, "Leave your home They can't kill you in my hands But if they try, don't take fright If they're shooting at you, kid, you must be Doing something right" (right, right, right, right, right) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) All I want is for a bit of peace A nice, warm house and form a family To take me back because you know I miss them (know I miss) Miss my boys, I miss their mother, I'll kiss them (mother last kiss) But instead I'm running out of time (out of time) Out of air, I fear I must be dying (must be dying) "Come to me", you said, "Leave your pain They can't kill you in my head" You're my son, you're my love Gonna catch you gently, now you are with me Got you now (now, now, now) Got you now (now, now, now) I got you now (now, now, now) I got you now (now, now, now) (Got you now)
