Johnny's Gun

I was
enrolled
a student
became
a soldier
for peace
at least
that's what
I was told
I sold
my soul
for a body
of gold
and never
did find
what I was
looking for.
The system
was broken
my life
was a joke and
nobody knew,
but my
success
was due
and I told 'em
I'm ready
my aim
will be steady
get out
of my crosshairs
or I'll
fill you with lead
he said
see what you will
and do
what you may
but you better
remember
what you
did say
to me
and your mother
and your
lover as well,
because
at the gates
they will
send you to
hell.
Well,
I looked up
at him
and I
leveled
my gun,
and I fired
and left
and my
dad knew
I won.
