[Verse 1]
Well they say sing something happy
Because we're tired of all the bad
I guess they want the truth from a man
Who has never been sad
Me, I will not fill you
Full of filth and full of lies
'Cause this heart has seen some miles
And so have these eyes

[Chorus]
And I’ve cursed at the dark and I’ve sworn at the sun
And I've told people I love and I hate 'em
Others say I’m always on the run
Skippin' town at the fire of a gun
I’m skippin' town at the fire of a gun

[Verse 2]
One day they will realize
That with the good comes the bad
Reasons why I write all these songs
Maybe then they will be glad
Now I know some are grateful
I know plenty that aren’t
I really think they know what’s true
But on the inside they’re all torn apart
[Chorus]
'Cause they’ve cursed at the dark and they’ve sworn at the sun
They’ve all told people they love they hate 'em
Others say they're always on the run
Skippin' town at the fire of a gun
They’re skippin' town at the fire of

[Bridge]
What they’re ashamed to be
What they claim to be
What they know will set them free

[Chorus]
Cause they’ve sworn at the sun and they’ve cursed at the dark
They’ve all told people they love that they hate 'em
Others say they’re always on the run
Skippin' town at the fire of a gun
Skippin' town at the fire of a gun
Yeah, at the fire of a gun
