Lyrics
They say love is the answer
Love is often considered the solution to life's challenges.
Make our bombs in the shape of a heart
Metaphorically creating destructive things with the symbol of love.
Having fun causes cancer
Suggesting that enjoying life may have negative consequences.
So then why am I falling apart
Questioning the paradox of feeling broken despite avoiding pleasure.
Gimme power, gimme fame,
Desire for power, fame, and money.
Gimme money
Expressing materialistic desires.
If you ain’t running with me,
Warning those who don't support to stay away.
You better run from me
Implying potential harm if not aligned with the speaker.
I can push you till you come undone
Claiming the ability to break someone emotionally.
And I’ll tell you we’re the lucky ones
Despite hardships, asserting that they are fortunate.
Thank god I know that we’re lucky
Expressing gratitude for recognizing their fortunate situation.
They say knowledge is power
Stating that knowledge is a source of power.
Bring our guns every morning to school
Metaphorically bringing weapons to the learning environment.
Sure I cry in the shower
Acknowledging vulnerability and displaying a facade of indifference.
That’s ok if you think that I’m cool
Accepting judgments about being cool while struggling internally.
Gimme power, gimme fame, gimme money
Reiterating the desire for power, fame, and money.
If you ain’t running with me, you better run from me
Repeating the warning to avoid those not aligned with the speaker.
I can catch you with a sucker punch
Asserting the ability to surprise or harm unexpectedly.
And I’ll tell you we’re the lucky ones
Reaffirming their belief that they are fortunate despite negative actions.
Thank god I know that we’re lucky
Gratitude for recognizing their fortunate state.
We’re the lucky ones
Emphasizing again that they are the lucky ones.
We’re the lucky ones
Repeating the idea that they are the fortunate ones.
Thank god I know that we’re lucky
Expressing thanks for the awareness of their privileged position.
