lyrics

The sun is always shining here in Shangri La
It's a paradise with waterfalls and trees
One day a boy pulled out a gun and said
"Old Man get on your knees"

I looked at the boy in the eyes
stared deep into his soul and said
"As you wish. That gun aint no toy,
now what do you want you son of a bitch?"

He said I want to know your name
I said my name is Life what is yours
He said my name is man
and I've come to knock down your doors

I said you can't come here and destroy everything you see
built cities, governments and democracy
If everybody wants what they want nothing will get done
that day in Shangri La and down went the sun

I looked at that poor old bastard that day
and said put those guns back on that shelf
Guns will kill people don't you know
but I digress, man was destined to destroy himself

He said I want to know your name
I said my name is Life what is yours
He said my name is man
and I've come to knock down your doors
I don't care what I have to do
I jsut want to live at the
I said man was an evil race
and all this killing has to stop

He look at me and laughed
as he put his gun up to my head
He shot my in the face but I wasn't dead
I said you can't kill me you can only change what I do
but since I'm always changing I wonder if you can too
