The Gun Song

(álbum: Hearts For Bullets - 2008)

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun
Put it down

"Shut up," he said
"Let me speak for a minute or two or three
Now you're gonna stop interrupting me"
So what ya gonna do?
'Cause looking in his face shows a life revealing years of pain
So we'll drop down, let go all because he said so

Boys with shiny violent killing
Toys it's all a bit too real now
Noise this cycle will continue
Boys

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun
Put it down, put it down, put it down

Shut up, my turn
To be heard using force is all that occured to him
And now he's blaming everyone, 'cause he's always been a victim
He's filled with rage, heart beating so fast, don't set him off
I try to make a move but the little boy says, "Shut up or I'll kill ya"

Put it down, put it down, put it down
Shut up or I'll kill ya
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down

Boys with shiny violent killing
Toys it's all a bit too real now
Noise this cycle will continue
Boys 'cause we can't all be heroes

Boys with shiny violent killing
Toys it's all a bit too real now
Noise this cycle will continue
Boys 'cause we can't all be heroes

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun

Put down the gun
Put it down, put it down, put it down

Scatter gun
It's a war game, making enemies and allies
Scatter gun
Pushed too hard, too fast, totally offside
Scatter gun
Big gun in the hands of a greedy man
Scatter gun
Take a hit, take a shot, just to take a stand

Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down
