слова песни 10,000 Maniacs - Gun Shy
I always knew that you would take yourself far from home as
soon as, as far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and
the Army issue green, for the past eight weeks I can tell where you`ve
been. For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me there
was soldier`s blue blood streaming inside your veins. There is a world
outside of this room and when you meet it promise me you won`t meet it
with your gun.
So now you are one of the brave few, it`s awful sad we need
boys like you. I hope the day never comes for "Here`s your live round
son. Stock and barrel, saftey, trigger, here`s your gun." Well I
knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me there was soldiers
blue blood streaming inside your veins. There is a world outside of
this room and when you meet it promise me you won`t meet it with your
gun taking aim. For I don`t mean to argue, they`ve made a decent boy
of you and I don`t mean to spoil yourhome coming, but baby brother
you should expect me to.
"Stock and barrel, saftey, trigger, here`s your gun." So now
does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic sond when you see the
stripes of Old Glory waving? Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut
and dried to me there was soldier`s blue blood streaming inside your
veins. There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it
promise me you won`t meet it with your gun taking aim. I don`t mean
to argue, they`ve made a decent boy of you and I don`t mean to spoil
your homecoming my baby brother Jude and I don`t mean to hurt you by
saying this again, they`re so good at making soldiers but they`re not
so good at making men.
