Clawfinger Are You Man Enough Lyrics

Get a gun to protect yourself
From someone else with a gun
Being armed up to the teeth
That means you don't have to run
Better safe than being sorry
Better alive than being dead
Better him than me you say
As you aim your gun at his head

You live your life at gunpoint
Don't be scared be prepared
It's peace you say that you fight for
But it's war you declare
Take a life to save a life
You call that living in peace?
It takes more than a piece of metal
For the peace to increase

Are you man enough to hold a gun?
Are you man enough to turn your back and run?
Are you man enough to take a life?
Are you man enough to make one?

With your finger stuck on the trigger
You're one hell of a man
But you won't be much of a macho
When the blood's on your hands
If you live by the gun you die
By the gun I promise you that
And you ain't got a godamn thing
If all you've got is a gat

History repeats itself but
Still we don't pull the brakes
What will it take for us to learn
To learn from our own mistakes?
I'd rather die defending my own right
To never bear arms
Than live pretending a gun
Will keep me safe from bodily harm

Are you man enough to hold a gun?
Are you man enough to turn your back and run?
Are you man enough to take a life?
Are you man enough to make one?

If sacrifice is the price for freedom
Then tell me what's the use
Killing someone to prove that
Killing is wrong still ain't no excuse
How can you believe that death
Will make the suffering cease?
Prepare to sacrifice your life
Once the bullet is released

Are you man enough to hold a gun?
Are you man enough to turn your back and run?
Are you man enough to take a life?
Are you man enough to make one?
