If you had looked, you might have just seen them Stretched in the background You'd see the oceans swirl And the mountains shook You'd see a million colors If you really looked Now, quick the night draws near Her curtain spreads quicker The safety's off But the gun has no trigger If you had looked, you'd be no one's coward Distance, justice, power You'd glimpse the password You wouldn't need the book You'd own both slave and master If you just had looked But now the banks all closed And nothing gets bigger The crowd will yell But the gun has no trigger If you had looked, you might reconsider Or just maybe you already have They watch you sleeping You watch their garbage cook You'd weep a bowl of tears If you had looked But now the gate comes down The pangs are growing dimmer You hold a gun to your head But the gun has no trigger
