Giving Up the Gun - Dub

Your sword's grown old and rusty
 Burnt beneath the rising sun
 It's locked up like a trophy
 Forgetting all the things it's done
 And though it's been a long time
 You're right back where you started from
 I see it in your eyes
 That now you're giving up the gun
 When I was 17 I had wrists like steel
 And I felt complete
 And now my body fades behind a brass charade
 And I'm obsolete
 But if the chance remains to see those better days
 I'd cut the cannons down
 My ears are blown to bits from all the rifle hits
 But still I crave that sound
 Your sword's grown old and rusty
 Burnt beneath the rising sun
 It's locked up like a trophy
 Forgetting all the things it's done
 And though it's been a long time
 You're right back where you started from
 I see it in your eyes
 That now you're giving up the gun
 I heard you play guitar down at a seedy bar
 Where skinheads used to fight
 Your Tokugawa smile and your garbage style
 Used to save the night
 You felt the coming wave, told me we'd all be brave
 You said you wouldn't flinch
 But in the years that passed since I saw you last
 You haven't moved an inch
 Your sword's grown old and rusty
 Burnt beneath the rising sun
 It's locked up like a trophy
 Forgetting all the things it's done
 And though it's been a long time
 You're right back where you started from
 I see it in your eyes
 That now you're giving up the gun
 I see you shine in your way
 Go on, go on, go on
 I see you shine in your way
 Go on, go on, go on
 I see you shine in your way
 Go on, go on, go on
 I see you shine in your way
 Go on, go on, go on
 I see you shine in your way
 Go on, go on, go on
 I see you shine in your way
 Go on, go on, go on
 Your sword's grown old and rusty
 Burnt beneath the rising sun
 It's locked up like a trophy
 Forgetting all the things it's done
 And though it's been a long time
 You're right back where you started from
 I see it in your eyes
 That now you're giving up the gun
