This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Got my nails on the trigger
Got my heart on my sleeve
Got my shoes in a pawnshop
Got my days on a leash
Got my girl in a drugstore
Got my mind on my girl
Got my mind on my girl
Got my mind
Got my food from a wall
Got my drinking from a bar
Got my fluids in a bottle
Got my brother in a jar
Got my life all fucked up
Got no money in no bank
Got no money in no bank
Got no money
It's gonna be alright
As long as I survive tonight
Got no keys in my pocket
Got my eyes on the road
No more love to be broken
Got an anchor but no boat
Got no feet for my shoes
It's been days since I've left
It's been days since I've left
It's been days
But it's gonna be alright
As long as I survive tonight
Got my mind on a good thing
Told a lie that was true
Got a taste for a new day
Got a craving for you
Got an e-mail from god
That shines my soul upon myself
Shines my soul upon myself
Shine my soul
But it's gonna be alright
As long as I survive tonight
Got my heart on my sleeve
Got my shoes in a pawnshop
Got my days on a leash
Got my girl in a drugstore
Got my mind on my girl
Got my mind on my girl
Got my mind
Got my food from a wall
Got my drinking from a bar
Got my fluids in a bottle
Got my brother in a jar
Got my life all fucked up
Got no money in no bank
Got no money in no bank
Got no money
It's gonna be alright
As long as I survive tonight
Got no keys in my pocket
Got my eyes on the road
No more love to be broken
Got an anchor but no boat
Got no feet for my shoes
It's been days since I've left
It's been days since I've left
It's been days
But it's gonna be alright
As long as I survive tonight
Got my mind on a good thing
Told a lie that was true
Got a taste for a new day
Got a craving for you
Got an e-mail from god
That shines my soul upon myself
Shines my soul upon myself
Shine my soul
But it's gonna be alright
As long as I survive tonight
