Bombs Away
Threefoot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You struggle everyday
And you kiss your only life away for another thing that you won't ever have
I tried two at a time, but that's not how I waste my dime
For something that you save...

Bombs away! Another problem you won't understand
Bombs away! Another problem deep inside my head
Should I try to find the ways that you won't ever help me out

But you won't say that you want bombs away

My life's not in your hands
No I don't care if you're the Man. We'll never let you corporate our minds

I tried two at a time, but that's not how I waste my dime
For something that you save...
