if you had looked, you might have just seen them
 stretched in the background
 you'd see the oceans swell
 and the mountains shook

you'd see a million colors
 if you really looked
 now quick the night draws near
 her curtain spreads quicker
 the safety's off

but the gun has no trigger.
 if you had looked, you'd be no one's coward
 distance, justice, power
 you'd glimpse the password

you wouldn't need the book
 you'd own both slave and master
 if you just had looked
 but now the banks all closed

and nothing gets bigger
 the crowd will yell
 but the gun has no trigger.
 if you had looked, you might reconsider

or just maybe you already have
 they watch you sleeping
 you watch their garbage cook
 you'd weep a bowl of tears
 if you had looked

but now the gate comes down
 the pangs are growing dimmer
 you hold a gun to your head
 but the gun has no trigger.
