Sixty Eight Guns

And now they're trying to take my life away
Forever young I cannot stay
On every corner, I can see them there
They don't know my name, they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises (promises of love)
They're after you to sign your life away

Sixty-eight guns will never die. Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die. Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns, Sixty-eight guns

For living in the backstreets that's our home from home
The painted walls are all we've ever known
The Guns Forever, that's our battle cry
It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they try to drag us down
I cry with anger, I have done no crime

Sixty-eight guns will never die. Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die. Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns, Sixty-eight guns

Up on the terrace I can hear the crowd roar. Sixty-eight guns
And in the subway I can hear them whisper. Sixty-eight guns

Through all the raging glory of the years
We never once thought of the fears
For what we'd do when the battle cry was over
Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're young

I declare - To unbreak the promise - To unbreak the vow - Unbreak it

When you're young. Have no illusion and no disillusion

Unbreak the promise - Unbreak the vow - Uphold the promise

Sixty-eight guns

Sixty-eight guns will never die. Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die. Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns. Sixty-eight guns. The sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns. The sixty-eight guns
