Sixty Eight Guns

Lyrics

And now they're trying to take my life away
 Forever young I cannot stay
 Hey
 On every corner I can see them there
 They don't know my name they don't know my kind
 They're after you with their promises
 (Promises of love)
 They're after you to sign your life away
 (Yeah, yeaoh)
 Sixty-eight Guns will never die
 Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
 Sixty-eight Guns
 Sixty-eight Guns
 Oh, the Sixty-eight
 Living in the backstreets
 That's our home from home
 The painted walls were all we've ever known
 'The Guns Forever' that's our battle cry
 It is the flag that we fly so high
 For every day they'll try and drag us down
 (Drag us down and down)
 I cry with anger I have done no crime
 No
 (Yeah, yeaoh)
 Sixty-eight Guns will never die
 Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
 Sixty-eight Guns will never die
 Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
 Sixty-eight Guns
 Sixty-eight Guns
 The Sixty-eight
 Up on the terrace I can hear the crowd roar
 Sixty Eight Guns
 And in the subway I can hear them whisper
 Sixty Eight Guns
 Through all the raging glory of the years
 We never once thought of the fears
 For what we'd do when the battle cry was over
 Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're young
 (I, I do swear
 To unbreak the promise
 To unbreak the vow
 Unbreak it)
 When you're young
 Have no illusion, no disillusion
 Unbreak the promise
 Unbreak the vow
 Uphold the promise
 SIXTY EIGHT GUNS
 Sixty-eight Guns will never die
 Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
 Sixty-eight Guns will never die
 Sixty-eight Guns our battle cry
 Sixty-eight Guns
 Sixty-eight Guns
 The sixty eight guns
 Sixty eight guns
 The sixty eight guns
