"So Long" lyrics - EVERLAST

"So Long"

I knew a man with a son
Who bought him a gun
And learned Shorty just how to use it.
Taught him hunting and skinning
Right from the beginning
Built himself a mighty fine killer.
But Shorty got picked on
Beat on and kicked on
And all his classmates wanna punk him.
So with tears in his eye
He read "Catcher in the Rye"
And told his old man he went hunting.
And he felt so free
Like his destiny
Laid somewhere out on the horizon.
His heart went cold
He felt a hundred years old
And started pulling back on the trigger...

I think I'm gonna die today
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay.
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?

See me
Hear me
But don't touch me
You should fear me.
Hold your life dearly
'Cause I'm seriously disturbed
That's my word.
Straight to my mother
Wayne, my brother
Who found another one to play soccer
'Cause I ain't the one
Who put shade in your sun
And took all your shine
Watch me get mine.
Feel my love burn
Me for my sins.
Watch the world turn
The saga begins.
Losses and wins
Angels and djinn
Dancin' on top
The head of a pin
Don't know where I'm going
But I know where I've been.
I can't hear a sound
I clapped a full round
I came to get down
I came to get dirty
I came to get even...

I think I'm gonna die today
And everyone who hurt me's gonna pay.
How could such a short time feel so long?
How could such a young life go so wrong?

Momma, don't cry.
Please, momma, don't cry.
Momma, don't cry
You did nothing wrong...
