Giving Up The Gun Lyrics

	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 change remains
	To see those better days
	I’d cut the cannons down
	My ears are blown to bits
	From all the rifle hits
	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 shining 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
	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 change remains
	To see those better days
	I' d cut the cannons down
	My ears are blown to bits
	From all the rifle hits
	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
