The Bomb

my momma said
son you should eat more
and my pappa said
ambition ... score

and my teachers said
one day your just going to explode
my preacher said
when we die there's a place we all go

and i've watched the stars
blink out one by one
i've watched my scars
settle in we've become such good friends

good friends, good friends
good friends, good friends

momma said
you could have been the bomb
papa said
you could have been the bomb
teacher said
you could have been the bomb
preacher said
you could have been the bomb

momma said
you could have been the bomb
papa said
you could have been the bomb
teacher said
you could have been the bomb
preacher said
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb
you could have been the bomb

so stop me
if this song is hurting you
might try and wish it all away
but still the pain stays with you
and now you've got me
where i always need to go
just better take some cover from the shrapnel before i blow

'cause i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb
i could have been the bomb

could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
could have been the bomb
you can feel it all over
