Clawfinger - Are You Man Enough? lyrics

Get a gun to protect yourself from someone else with a gun

Being armed up to the teeth that means you don't have to run

Better safe than being sorry, better alive than being dead

Better him than me you say as you aim your gun at his head

You live your life at gunpoint don't be scared be prepaired

It's peace you say that you fight for but it's war you declare

Take a life to save a life you call that living in peace?

It takes more than a piece of metal for the peace to increase

Are you man enough to hold a gun?

Are you man enough to turn your back and run?

Are you man enough to take a life?

Are you man enough to make one?

With your finger stuck on the trigger

you're one hell of a man

but you won't be much of a macho

when the blood's on your hands

if you live by the gun you'll die by the gun

I promise you that

and you ain't got a godamn thing

if all you've got is a gat

History repeats itself

but still we don't pull the brakes

What will it take for us to learn

to learn from our own mistakes

I'd rather die defending my own right

to never bare arms

Than live pretending a gun

will keep me safe from bodily harm

Are you man enough to hold a gun?

Are you man enough to turn your back and run?

Are you man enough to take a life?

Are you man enough to make one?

If sacrifice is the price for freedom

then tell me what's the use

killing someone to prove that killing is wrong

still ain't no excuse

if once the bullets released

Are you man enough to hold a gun?

Are you man enough to turn your back and run?

Are you man enough to take a life?

Are you man enough to make one?
