Weapons

I walked along the road today
 and saw myself in the tired face
 and a thousand more look back at me
 I could almost feel the unity
 And the sun rose high above the trees
 and the birds were singing over me
 but beneath my feet I felt the sting
 that was the earth remembering
 Lay down, lay down your weapons boy
 Right now, right now you should've changed the world
 Under it all, you're not so tough
 Everyone, everyone just wants to fall in love
 And I used to think we're just the same
 from a different town and with different names
 Do you remember what we said?
 "We'll never change," oh did we forget?
 Lay down, lay down your weapons boy
 Right now, right now you should've changed the world
 Under it all, you're not so tough
 Everyone, everyone just wants to fall in love
 And I walked along to the edge of town
 and there I threw my burdens down
 Looking up, at last I found
 You're never loved if you protect yourself
 Lay down, lay down your weapons boy
 Right now, right now
 Under it all, you're not so tough
 Everyone, everyone just wants to fall, to fall in love
 Lay down, lay down your weapons boy
 Right now, right now you should've changed the world
 Under it all, you're not so tough
 Everyone, every one of us, just wants to fall
 Lay down, lay down your weapons boy
 Lay down, lay down your weapons boy
