Lay Down Your Swords, Boys
Lyricist:Shawn Mullins
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 down When we flattened the hillsides and 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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 â€~em, same shit we were fed From the pages of schoolbooks to 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
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
