Lay Down Your Arms

[Verse 1]

We used to live in a better world

Where sky and water were free

We point the finger, we point the gun

Is that the way it should be?

[Verse 2]

We rape the land and we tear the skin

Burn the blood In the stone

To fuel the fire of a selfish mind

Do you want to live here alone?

[Chorus]

Lay down your arms - surrender

You know you'll never get out of here

Lay down your arms - remember

No force - you'd better lay down your gun

Lay down your arms - surrender

You know you'll never get out of here

Lay down your arms - remember

No force - you'd better lay down your gun

[Verse 3]

Such are the sins of humanity

Dark is the air that we breathe

A war to hide in society

Don't close your eyes to deceive

[Chorus]

Lay down your arms - surrender

You know you'll never get out of here

Lay down your arms - remember

No force - you'd better lay down your gun

Lay down your arms - surrender

You know you'll never get out of here

Lay down your arms - remember

No force - you'd better lay down your gun

[Bridge]

Too many promises

Too many tears

Where does the future lie

If we burn away the years?

[Synth Solo]

[Verse 4]

We can make this a better world

Where sky and water are free

So give the hand without the gun

Is that the way it will be?

[Chorus]

Lay down your arms - surrender

You know you'll never get out of here

Lay down your arms - remember

No force - you'd better lay down your arms

[Outro]
