Lock and Load

Well I wish I had a nickelFor every time I fell and blamed somebody elseI'd give a ton of money to the ones I've hurtAnd I'd still be sittin' pretty wellI've spent years losin' touch of what's right and what's realCaught up in these missions of my ownAnd you're tellin' me you think I've done so damn wellWhile we're sittin' here a thousand miles from homeThere's a hole in your wisdom, a hole in your skyTwo holes in your head where the light's supposed to get byTime to lock and loadTime to get controlTime to search the soulAnd start againSo many times I've seen chances disappearI hesitate and watch them slip awayLike the time I fail to spend with the ones I loveAnd it's gone as sure as yesterdayAll these users and fakers, big time takersManipulating everyone they seeI get caught up in their schemes and their useless dreamsAnd the only one I have to blame is meI get turned `round and twisted, pulled left and rightI can see where I'm goin', but I can't see the lightTime to lock and loadCome in from the coldTake a different roadAnd start againI can sit here, in the back half of my lifeAnd wonder when the other shoe will fallOr I can stand up, point myself homeAnd see if I've learned anything at allAnything at allMediocrity is easy, the good things take timeThe great need commitment, right down the lineTime to lock and loadCome in from the coldPay these debts I oweAnd start againI've been down this roadI've seen things get oldTime to get controlAnd start it all againTime to lock and loadTime to get controlTime to search the soulAnd start againI've been down this roadI've seen things get oldStand up, get boldAnd start it all againTime to lock and load
