Lyrics
Don't fear the gun, fear the man That's what they taught me when I was young Don't hate the sinner, hate the sin I add it up, it don't make sense They dipped my head into the holy well To save me from the fires of Hell Sayin', "Jesus died so you could shine" You can't beat that deal They say walk your talk, but when I walk I stumble on what I say How can my words be mightier When my fear gets in the way? They dipped my head into the holy well I held my breath I was scared as hell Jesus died so I could shine You can't beat that deal But the boyfriend at the football game The teacher at the gym They taught me how to hate myself How could I shine? I cannot win There's a battle cry for my insides My moral compass, it is a mess I'm bound to find out in the end That I failed their doggone test They dipped my head into the holy well They couldn't save me from myself If Jesus died so I could shine How come my light, it grows so dim I fear the gun, I fear the man Oh, my insides I fear especially I fear the boy walkin' down my road Even though I know he fears me Because a bullet is a mighty thing A teacher is a mighty thing
