"Gun" lyrics

"Gun"

You give a boy a gun
You hope he won't be long
You tell him to take aim, be strong
You gave it all

You give a boy a gun
That's how the story ends
Atrocities aside, it's nice
We won the war

Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

You teach the kids to draw
Yet still the page is blank
You gave up and you stayed behind
You gave it all

You give a boy a gun
And leave the door unlocked
You gave up on yourself, but tonight
We won the war

Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright
