time of the gun

Joan Osborne

There is good, there is evil
And it lives in everyone
You can say that you're sorry
But the damage has been done
Oh the one who will conquer
Is the one that you feed
So you better take care when you decide what to need

There's no place you can hide now
There's nowhere left to run
That's how you know you're living
In the time of the gun
(In the time of the gun)

Well th? wolf is inside you
Right there n?xt to the lamb
And you think you will use him
Get you out of a jam
But he turns on his master
And escapes from the cage
With the power you gave him
He is blind in his rage

You were waiting for your moment
But the moment didn't come
That's how it always happens
In the time of the gun
(In the time of the gun)
Oh red is my sorrow
And my tears they are blue
But the feel of a trigger
Still brings comfort to you
Well my heart is a ruby
And it's kept in a drawer
And the times it has shattered
I can't count anymore

You were riding to the rescue
But your moment didn't come
That's how you know you're living
In the time of the gun
(In the time of the gun)
