UNDER THE GUN
(Kris Kristofferson, G. Clark)

Break a man break a promise 
Break a heart break a home
Take a long hard look at the heaven 
Gone to hell under the gun

See the child young and hungry 
Growing wild on the run
And he'll die reachin' for freedom 
He was born under the gun

Swollen men blind with power 
Break the rules one by one
With their lies raising the danger 
Of their games under the gun

No more time no more chances 
No more wars will be won
In the end only the losers 
Hold the land under the gun

Hold the truth like a candle 
Let it shine like the sun
On the love that's left to believe in 
In a world under the gun
