Afraid to Shoot Strangers Lyrics
[This song] was written about theā¦ Read MoreĀ [Verse 1]
Lying awake at night
I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear
'Cause I'd rather go now
Trying to visualize
The horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound
A burial ground
[Verse 2]
When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die
[Verse 3]
God, let us go now
And finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come
Thy shall be done... on Earth
Trying to justify to ourselves
The reasons to go
Should we live and let live?
Forget or forgive?
[Verse 4]
But how can we let them
Go on this way?
The reign of terror
Corruption must end
And we know deep down
There's no other way
No trust, no reasoning
No more to say
[Chorus]
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Wasting Love Lyrics
[āWasting Loveā] is about those who jump from one bed intoā¦ Read MoreĀ [Verse 1]
Maybe one day, I'll be an honest man
Up till now, I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days of sunrise to sunset
Sunrise to sunset
[Verse 2]
Dream on, brothers, while you can
Dream on, sisters; I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly
By the tides of time
[Chorus]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
[Verse 2]
Dream on, brothers, while you can
Dream on, sisters; I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly
By the tides of time
[Verse 3]
Sands are flowing
And the lines are in your hand
In your eyes, I see the hunger
And the desperate cry that tears the night
[Chorus]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
[Outro]
Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night
Weekend Warrior Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool
Who are you kidding, being that cool?
Trying to break away from running with the pack
But they ain't listening, so you've gotta go back
[Pre-Chorus]
You're a weekend warrior
When you're one of the crowd
But it's over
Just look at you now...
Look at you now...
Just look at you now...
Just look at you now...
[Verse 2]
You're not so brave, the way you behave
It makes you sick, gotta get out quick
It's all bravado when you're out with your mates
It's like a different person goes through those gates
[Pre-Chorus]
And the game begins
The adrenaline's high
Feel the tension
Maybe someone will die...
Someone will die...
Someone will die...
Maybe someone will die...
[Chorus]
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior, maybe you ain't that way anymore
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior, maybe you ain't that way anymore
[Verse 3]
You've gotta get out, gotta get away
But you're in with a clique; it's not easy to stray
You've gotta admit, you're just living a lie
It didn't take long to work out why
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to say why you got involved
Just wanting to be part
Just wanting to belong...
To belong...
To belong...
To belong, yeah
[Chorus]
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior, maybe you ain't that way anymore
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior, maybe you ain't that way anymore
[Instrumental Break 2:59-4:33]
[Verse 4]
Some of the things that you've done, you feel so ashamed
After all, it's only a game... isn't it?
And after all the adrenaline's gone
What you gonna do on Monday?
[Pre-Chorus]
What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?
On Monday
[Chorus]
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior, maybe you ain't that way anymore
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior, maybe you were never like that at all
