It was the light
The heat
The swat
The beat

It was the light
The heat
The swat
The beat

It was the guns!

It was the light
the sound
the message
the rounds
It was the guns
the heat
the timing
It was the beat

I saw you there
like a light
another choice
another fight
another life
one more chance
to end the night
to get it right
It was the guns!

Hunger,  and violence
are the only things that still make sense
It was the guns
It was the guns
It was the guns

And I can read you
like a letter
every stolen line making you look better
it was the guns
the myth
the glitter
the killer

It was the light
The sound
The blindness all around
It was the skin
The hair
The danger
It was there
It was the guns!

Hunger,  and violence
are the only things that still make sense
It was the guns
It was the guns
It was the guns

It was the light
The heat
The swat
The beat
It was the guns
