tonight, as i lay my head down to sleep
i try to keep a promise i shouldn't keep
burn every house down in this miserable town
kill the people who try to turn me to their clown
but i never can stop myself from imagining
everything everyone must be dreading
i dream of the pain ahead for someone like me
and i wanna pick a shotgun and go on a crime spree
so tomorrow morning, i'll load some bullets
drive slowly to saint thomas university
watch my classmates walk to their classes
and open fire to their stupid fucking asses
and when everyone's down and no one's left breathing
i will run to the tower and watch the cops swarming
i will wait for a while before making myself known
then i will shoot my head into oblivion
i never can stop myself from imagining
everything everyone must be dreading
i dream of the pain ahead for someone like me
and i wanna pick a shotgun and go on a crime spree
then i wake up and see the clock
i see the date and the time is up
i'm 31, no longer a teen
no idea where my dreams have been
everything is so different from here
working nine to five with people just as weird
just as bitter and angry at life
showing their smiles while hiding a knife
i never can stop myself from imagining
everything everyone must be dreading
i dream of the pain ahead for someone like me
and i wanna pick a shotgun and go on a crime spree
you can watch me on tv
