Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You gotta fake badge and a real gun
Shootin' down what you can't outrun
In your mouth a bullet tongue
With a fake badge and a real gun
You're lookin' out for your number ones
Doin' things that can't be undone
[Verse 2]
You can have your day
You can have your fun
You can say what you say
Till we're all tired and numb
You can have your way
And throw your tantrums
But the truth will be waitin'
The truth will be waitin'
[Verse 3]
You gotta fake badge and a real gun
Throwin' shame in the name of love
Give 'em hell from up above
With a fake badge and a real gun
You only see a battle won
You'll never know the damage you've done
[Verse 4]
You can have your day
You can have your fun
You can say what you say
Till we're all tired and numb
You can have your way
And throw your tantrums
But the truth will be waitin'
The truth will be waitin'
[Verse 5]
The truth will be waitin'
The truth will be waitin'
The truth will be waitin'
