Justice In The Barrel Lyrics

J. Bon Jovi 

Hey mister can you help me 
I'm a loner on the run 
I'm just looking for tomorrow 
And I ain't gonna hurt no one 

I jumped headfirst into a bottle 
I was looking for a friend 
Came up just short of nothing 
I didn't find the truth I only found an end 

So tell me who's gonna save me 
Or my father or my son 
When the only justice a man can see 
Is the barrel... of a loaded gun 

I been broke and I've been hungry 
I think they're both my middle name 
But I don't never ever never seem to get enough 
Still guess I can't complain 

'Cause what you get in life you take it 
You've gotta hold on and make it last 
They say good things come to those who wait 
But it's life that goes so fast 

And when there's just one rule you live by 
Each day you kiss the rising sun 
When you live and die by the life we breathe 
In the barrel of a loaded gun 

Guns talk to me in my sleep at night 
And a gun somewhere is burning 
With my name 

Winners are losers 
And losers will have to face 
All those yesterdays 
And all of the dreams they blew away 

So Mister can you help me 
Or are you my gun 
Have the ghosts of justice 
Brought you here to me to taste 
The barrel of a loaded gun 

There's justice in the barrel 
Of a loaded gun
