Loose Cannon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A loose cannon can't you tell
You're gonna get a lesson he'll learn you well
Back off and stay away from him
Outside you're going down
And how ya gonna feel when you hit the ground?
The bad seed is at it again
The boy is so defiant
Angry young lion
With too much hatred from the past
All his aggression
It isn't helping him become a man
Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken
Out back behind the shed
That's where his daddy taught him to hate the best
The education of the heavy hand
The blows were handed down
And it never did much good for him to cry out loud
The fragile child never stood a chance
The boy is so defiant
Angry young lion
With too much hatred from the past
All his aggression
It isn't helping him become a man
Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken
Hey just remember this
The anger's not a curse
It's the greatest gift of all
Loose cannon can't you tell
Loose cannon can't you tell
Back off
Back off from me
Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken
Na na na na na na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah and it might take a little
Bit to get used to
But he'll stay broken
But he'll stay broken
Broken
