"Lay Down Your Swords, Boys" | |
Well lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns | |
A new day’s a comin’ first sight of the sun | |
It’ll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love | |
While sweet baby | |
Jesus rides the wing of a dove | |
Now our color filled country is a giant strip mall | |
It’s a joke in the men’s room misspelled on the stall | |
But when it’s all over, ain’t no colors anyway | |
Like an old silent movie, only black, white and gray | |
Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns | |
A new day’s a comin’ first sight of the sun | |
It’ll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love | |
While sweet baby | |
Jesus rides the wings of a dove | |
Well the bad guys are gone, boys,we run most of them downwhen we flattened the hillsidesand we pummeled the ground | |
And speaking on bombs, boys,you'd better believe | |
That it’s better to give boys,than it is to receive | |
Lay down your swords, boys,lay down your guns | |
A new day’s a comin’ first sight of the sun | |
It’ll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love | |
While sweet baby | |
Jesus rides the wings of a dove | |
Now Old Glory’s still flyin’, just like before | |
And your kids ain’t believin’ in nothin’ no more | |
And you can’t really blame ‘em,same shit we were fed | |
From the pages of schoolbooksto the | |
Bibles we read | |
Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns | |
A new day’s a comin’ first sight of the sun | |
And it’ll shine like a beacon | |
On whoever shall love | |
While sweet baby | |
Jesus rides the wings of a dove |
