All my friends are takin' over
To make a mess of me
All my friends are broke and ugly
And make a mess of me

Then I saw a river fall from Heaven
Rain mistakes on me
Then I saw your mother shoot your father
Killed herself the same

All my friends have made a cyclone
To make a mess of me
All my friends have broken silence
To make a mess of me
All my friends are takin' over
To make a mess of me
All my friends are broke and ugly
And make a mess of me

Then I saw a river fall from Heaven
Rain mistakes on me
Then I saw your mother shoot your father
Killed herself the same

Blow it all away
Get the gun out
Load the bullets
Shot that fucker in his head

    I think it's actually about someone who's been so surrounded by death and violence and finally just kills himself because he's so desensitized and depressed. Everyone think's he's going to be suicidal, and he just decides that if they expect it of him, it doesn't matter if he does it
