[00:00.196] | When he was young he use to play with toy guns |
[00:02.651] | He’d say it was for fun but really it was the feel of it |
[00:05.629] | He acted silly but Billy loved the appeal of it |
[00:08.111] | Though its just plastic his roles got drastic |
[00:10.802] | Sound effects would blow he’d black mask it |
[00:13.440] | Around his neck would glow that classic Rambo medallion |
[00:17.019] | He use to dream of Lambo’s, Italian Mafioso, Commando, battalions |
[00:21.930] | He would lead them through the dark of winter |
[00:24.255] | He would leave them when his mom had started dinner |
[00:26.788] | At the table with his bleeding elbows |
[00:28.774] | Even when eating he needed his G.I. Joe’s |
[00:31.752] | By his side guarding his pride |
[00:33.842] | A soldier or a poet it got harder to decide |
[00:36.663] | The fun ends as the evening unravels |
[00:39.249] | A young mans ego’s so fragile |
[01:02.132] | And now he’s hitting his teens still drifting in between |
[01:04.953] | Wanting to be a writer wanting to be a fighter |
[01:08.166] | He’s starting to wonder which was mightier |
[01:10.622] | And found one |
[01:11.980] | The difference between Martin and Malcolm |
[01:14.096] | He couldn’t see it in the outcome |
[01:15.533] | They didn't live to see it |
[01:17.048] | Now how come |
[01:18.328] | Was the thought he saw the ones who fought |
[01:20.183] | He saw the ones who got caught in the crossfire |
[01:23.187] | His boss fired him and the cause |
[01:25.433] | He was reading Che Guevara instead of him parking cars |
[01:28.437] | Who writes the laws who enforces them |
[01:31.024] | Born to win, born to loose, born again |
[01:33.766] | Mortal men with an ego so fragile |
[01:35.987] | Reading as the meaning unravels |
[01:39.670] | Was it a ****** to the head or the words to the brain |
[01:41.342] | That brought about more change, man |
[01:58.060] | It’s been a long time since I use to pretend I was… |
[02:03.206] | You know… I don’t know…Billy the Kid |
