Lyrics
One more gig, daily bread
Performing another job for income, basic sustenance
Find some place to rest my head
Seeking a place to sleep or find shelter
Count me in, I never miss a beat
Always present and engaged, never miss a rhythm or tempo
I get drinks on the house maybe something to eat
Receiving free drinks and possibly food as perks
Knife fight ain’t nothing new
Engagement in physical altercations is common
Scrape last night off the bottom of my shoe
Removing remnants or reminders of the previous night's events
Stepping on glass, blood on the floor
Encountering dangerous situations, leaving a trail of blood
Tripping over bodies trying to make it to the door
Struggling to navigate through a chaotic environment, avoiding obstacles
Someday is never gonna come
Future success or fulfillment is improbable
No tomorrow for a hired gun
A person hired for tasks has no promised future
Right now is all you got
Present moment is the only certainty
Better play your song better take your shot
Make the most of the current opportunity
She’s got poison cherry lips
Reference to an alluring but potentially dangerous person
I got cast iron finger tips
Having tough, resilient hands or fingers
Starts with a push, turns to a shove
Conflict escalating from minor to major
First you fake a smile, next you’re faking love
Starting with insincerity, eventually leading to feigned emotions
Someday is never gonna come
Future aspirations or dreams might not materialize
No tomorrow for a hired gun
For a hired individual, there's no promised future
Right now is all you got
Present moment is the only certainty
Better play your song better take your shot
Make the most of the current opportunity
They think they own me
Feeling controlled or owned by others
Like I’m puddy in their hands
Manipulable or easily influenced by others
But I’ll be the one who’s laughing when I make my break
Confidence in eventual success and amusement at others' misjudgment
‘Cause I got other plans
Having different plans or aspirations beyond control
I chose this on my own
Made the choice willingly despite lack of knowledge or experience
So young so much I didn’t know
Inexperienced but committed to a significant commitment
Signed my life on the dotted line
Committed oneself to an agreement or contract
Waited for something that would never be mine
Waiting for something that won't be obtained
Someday is never gonna come
Future hopes or aspirations might not come to fruition
No tomorrow for a hired gun
No guaranteed future for someone hired for tasks
Right now is all you got
Present moment is the only certainty
Better play your song better take your shot
Make the most of the current opportunity
Someday is never gonna come
Future hopes or aspirations might not materialize
No tomorrow for a hired gun
No promised future for a hired individual
Right now is all you got
Present moment is the only certainty
Better play your song better take your shot
Make the most of the current opportunity
