made it. maybe.
mom and dad, what a suprise!
made it. maybe.
bang bang, you're dead!
you have to lay down for ten seconds!
bang bang, you're dead!
i made a gun with my fingers and shot at my friends.
do you remember the felling, or is it to late?
bang bang, you're dead!
i made a gun with my fingers and shot at myself.
they never come back those kids (that we once were)
they never come back those days (that we once had)
time is just a killing system!

The final lines of the song, "they never come back those kids (that we once were) / they never come back those days (that we once had) / time is just a killing system!" speak to the inevitability of growing older and losing touch with the people and experiences of our youth.
