Numbered Days Lyrics
Familiar with his kind
He'll beat someone down for fun
He's got an ax to grind
And he'll target anyone
Brass knuckles in his pocket
Steel-toed shoes
Life of the party
When you factor in booze
Familiar with his kind
And he'll target anyone
Violence! When will they learn?
Times running out
And the tables will turn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
He's got a group of friends
And they're all like minded guys
The fun never ends
and the party it never dies
Somebody crossed their path
And the worst time to do it
Steel-toes through the temple
And he didn't live through it
He's got a group of friends
They'll target anyone
Violence! When will they learn?
Time's running out
And the tables will turn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
Senseless, when will they learn?
Time's running out
And the tables will turn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up
The charge what? Homicide?
Alone he took the fall
His friends all testified
They weren't there at all
And he cried like a baby
When his sentence was passed
For himself and not the victim
But this victim was his last
Yes it was his last victim!
Still familiar with his kind
Too many of them left behind
Up to all that he once was
No other reason, just because
Too many incidents
None are isolated
Each coincidence
Is closely related
Familiar with his kind
And he'll target anyone
Violence! When will they learn?
Times running out
And the tables will learn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
Senseless! When will they learn?
Times running out
And the tables will learn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
He'll beat someone down for fun
He's got an ax to grind
And he'll target anyone
Brass knuckles in his pocket
Steel-toed shoes
Life of the party
When you factor in booze
Familiar with his kind
And he'll target anyone
Times running out
And the tables will turn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
And they're all like minded guys
The fun never ends
and the party it never dies
Somebody crossed their path
And the worst time to do it
Steel-toes through the temple
And he didn't live through it
He's got a group of friends
They'll target anyone
Time's running out
And the tables will turn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
Time's running out
And the tables will turn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up
Alone he took the fall
His friends all testified
They weren't there at all
And he cried like a baby
When his sentence was passed
For himself and not the victim
But this victim was his last
Yes it was his last victim!
Too many of them left behind
Up to all that he once was
No other reason, just because
Too many incidents
None are isolated
Each coincidence
Is closely related
Familiar with his kind
And he'll target anyone
Times running out
And the tables will learn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!
Times running out
And the tables will learn
The days have been numbered
And your number's coming up!

Its about all these violent people, i dont think theres any arguing in that.
Not only that but the fact that eventually this person will get what's coming to them.
Every dog has it's day.
It's about this guy who is pissed off at society, and decides that he's gonna lash out and just attack and kill people. One person pisses him off, and he and his friends kill him, but his friends sell him out for a lighter sentence. He goes to jail, but there are still a lot of murderers out there.
