Gun Shy
Lyricist:Natalie Merchant
I always knew that you would take yourself so far from home As soon as and as far as you could go By the quarter inch cut of your hair, by the Army issue green For the past eight weeks I can tell where you've been
For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me That you won't meet it with your gun
So now you are one, one of the brave few And it's awful sad we need boys like you I hope the day never comes for, 'Here's your live round son Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun'
I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me That you won't meet it with your gun, taking aim
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I don't mean to argue that they've made a decent boy of you I don't mean to spoil your home coming But baby, brother you should expect me to Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun
So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song When you see the stripes of Old Glory waving?
For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me That you won't meet it with your gun, taking aim
I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you I don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother Jude I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again They're so good at making soldiers but they're not as good at making men I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again They're so good at making soldiers but they're not as good at making men
