Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feeble bones took me to a valuable weakness
There's no comfort in silence
No real violence in words
[Verse 2]
So I sharpened my blade and bowed my head before I ceased and desisted
And though my stomach was a ball of resistance
I went straight for the course
[Verse 3]
With burns on the backs of my palms
Will I regret my cause or revel in my thoughts? Ah
I'm caught in the winds of remorse
'Cause everybody knows
[Verse 4]
What good is a sword next to a shotgun
What good is a sword next to a shotgun
What good is a sword next to a shotgun
[Verse 5]
How did I get stuck in this valiant position
When either I'll survive for an instant
Or cradle the earth?
[Verse 6]
My God forsaken weakened pulse I knew I had to amend this
Though I never was a force to be reckoned or
A sight to behold
[Verse 7]
With burns on the backs of my palms
Will I regret my 'cause or revel in my thoughts? Ah
I'm caught in the winds of remorse
'Cause everybody knows
[Verse 8]
What good is a sword next to a shotgun (No, no, ay, ah)
What good is a sword next to a shotgun (Don't, ah)
What good is a sword next to a shotgun (Ah)
[Verse 9]
And we're biting the bullet alone, ay
Oh I know that I'd rather be bold, no, no, ay
(What good is a sword next to a shotgun?)
And we're biting the bullet alone, ay
(Biting the bullet alone, ay)
Oh, I know that I'd rather be bold oh, no, ay
(What good is a sword next to a shotgun?)
Am I biting the bullet alone? Ay
Oh, I know that I'd rather be bold
(What good is a sword next to a shotgun?)
