Once I had my heroesOnce I had my dreamsBut all of that is changed nowThe truth begins againThe truth is not that comfortable, noMother taught us patienceThe virtues of restraintFather taught us boundariesThe knowledge we must goI'm trying to protect my unityThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when it all gets blown awayThat's when I reach for my revolverThe spirit passes by this wayA friend of mine once told meHis one and only aimTo build a giant castleAnd in it sign his nameSign it with complete communityThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when it all gets blown awayThat's when I reach for my revolverThe spirit passes by this wayNow that the sky is emptyAnd that is nothing newInstead they look upon usWhen they tell meThat we're nothingI say!That's when I reach for my revolverThat's when it all gets blown awayThat's when I reach for my revolverThe spirit passes by this wayThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when it all gets blown awayThat's when I reach for my revolverThe spirit passes by this way
