10,000 Maniacs - Gun Shy Lyrics

Send "Gun Shy" ringtone to your cell

I always knew that you would take yourself far from home

As soon as as far as you could go

By the quarter inch cut of your hair and the army issue pay

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 awfully sad we need boys like you

I hope the day never comes

For here's your live round son

Stock and barrel safety 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 your homecoming

But baby brother you should expect me to

"stock and barrel safety trigger here's your gun"

So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song

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

Well 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

Oh i don't mean to hurt you by saying this again

They're so good at making soldiers but they're not as good at making men
