lyrics

A bloody adventure and a gun in hand
To silence the envy of a plastic town
A solemn note a boyhood nature
Apologies in the trigger of sound

I’m bearing arms (x4)

You’re the straw broke the camel’s back
Tripping over voices to hear that snap
He found the guts in a backpack
He found the truth, cut our sons in half

I’m bearing arms (x4)
Son of man (x3)

Tears of daughters in the hands of fathers
Tears of sons on our evening news
Yeah send a ship our artic roar
And kiss the past and we start a war

I’m bearing arms (x8)
Son of man (x7)

Between that distant light, we ignite your sombrero
Your psychedelic life, you shared our loved with you, we had loved for you
You’re spitting blame outside the door, you found them there before
You found her once before (X2)
And you found out what’s it for…
You found her once before (X2)
And you found out what’s it for…

I’m bearing arms (x8)
You bear all hope (x8)
When you fall on, and you hide scars
When you fall on, and you hide scars
When you fall on, and you hide scars
When you fall on, and you hide you’ll hide

Nothing you can do can put us back together
Nothing you can say can put us back together
Nothing you can do will make it last forever
Nothing you can do will make it last forever
Nothing in the world is gonna make this better
Nothing in the world is gonna make this better
Bury them in arms and make us charge together
Bury them in arms and make us charge together. NO!
