Lay Down Your Arms

We used to live in a better world

Where sky and water were free

We point the finger

We point the gun

Is that the way it should be?

We rape the land

And we tear the skin

Burn the blood in the stone

To fuel the fire of a selfish mind

Do you want to live here alone?

[Chorus]

Lay down your arms - surrender

You know you'll never get out of here

Lay down your arms - remember

No force - you'd better lay down your gun

Such are the sins of humanity

Dark is the air that we breathe

A war to hide in society

Don't close your eyes to deceive

Too many promises

Too may tears

Where does the future lie

If we burn away the years

We can make this a better world

Where sky and water are free

So give the hand without the gun

That's the way it will be

[Chorus]
