Prey - Intellectual

[Chorus]

We were young and we all were prey

I was young and I used to pray

Too young to see why you were afraid

This american life, ain't it something else

At times it's pretty nice, but I keep a gun around

Been waiting for a call from you for a lifetime

Sorry, bogeyman, I'm busy having night terrors

I checked the news again

When I tell you that I get nightmares every night

Take me back to Tampa or take me home

I get you back some

We were young and wе all were prey

I was young and I usеd to pray

Too young to see why you were afraid

This american life, ain't it something else

At times it's pretty nice, but I keep a gun around

There's fire in my eyes

This fucking place is burning down

I want to love you while I protect myself

It looks like Scampia out here of the fire escape

I was young when I wanted kids

(I'm still pretty fucking young, but)

We were young and we all were prey

I was young and I used to pray

Too young to see why you were afraid

This american life, ain't it something else

At times it's pretty nice, but I keep a gun around

A history of violence
