Hiding In My Hoodie - Minute Man Lyrics

Livin' life like this
Everybody gunnin' on a night like this
Runnin' with guns, buggin' the Brits
Like a bull in the ring, I'm seein' redcoats
Check the door, write me a check
I'm barely scrapin' by paying for rent
Make minimum wage eleven to seven
Skip Sundays 'cause I ain't seein' heaven
I'm livin' in hell, it's like I've fallen down a well
Forget my mental health, woman, I ain't well
Get me a rope made out of money
Fill my tummy up with promises of milk and honey
But man cannot live on bread alone
Nor can he change his chromosomes
Cracked skulls open on cobblestone
It's streaming live on your kid's phone

I don't wanna be the villain here
But you're not my superhero
All you need to do is fire the first shot
And maybe I'll learn to let you go

Makin' plans like this
I don't feel free in a land like this
Taxes fill pockets of the ultra rich
Max can't relax, he's got an itch
Followin' dreams goin' 'gainst his intuition
Enlistment funds his college tuition
Left post-traumatic stress, at best he can't rest
At worst, he'll put someone in a hearse
Mind so perverse, wife cursed
She wanted to be a nurse
But her parents coerced her to get married at eighteen
Couldn't murder a baby, abandoned after birth
Don't speak of sanctity
Not when a woman is always a whore
Not when heaven's got locked doors
Not when fighting a holy war
Not when avarice was the oath you swore

I don't wanna be the villain here
But you're not my superhero
All you need to do is fire the first shot
And maybe I'll learn to let you go
I don't wanna be the villain here
But you're not my superhero
All you need to do is fire the first shot
And maybe I'll learn to let you go

Give me a minute, man
A minute, man, to process everything
Give me a minute, man
A minute, man, to process everything
Give me a minute, man
A minute, man, to process everything
Give me a minute man
A minute man to fight them off

I don't wanna be the villain here
But you're not my superhero
All you need to do is fire the first shot
And maybe I'll learn to let you go
I don't wanna be the villain here
But you're not my superhero
All you need to do is fire the first shot
And maybe I'll learn to let you go
