That's When I Reach For My Revolver (Mission Of Burma) Songtext
von Anti‐Flag

Once I had my heroes, once I had my dreams
And all of that has changed now
They′ve turned things inside out
The truth is not that comfortable, no

And mother taught us patience, the virtues of restraint
And father taught us boundaries
Beyond which we must go
To find the truth and innocence

Yeah, that's when I reach for my revolver
That′s when it all gets blown away
That's when I reach for my revolver
The spirit fights to find its way


Once I had a friend with one and only aim
To build a giant castle
And live inside his name
Cry and whispers sing in muted pain

That's when I reach for my revolver
That′s when it all gets blown away
That′s when I reach for my revolver
The truth fights to find its way

But now the sky is empty
That is nothing new
Its dead eyes look upon us and they tell me
We're nothing but slaves

That′s when I reach for my revolver (but slaves)
That's when I reach for my revolver
That′s when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver, oh no, oh no, oh no

That′s when I reach for my revolver
That's when I reach for my revolver
You don't know, you don′t know
