Dead Moon - Johnny's Got A Gun Lyrics
Youve crushed the resistence before its begunSilenced the voices whove dared to confrontLaying your hands upon all that you ruleBecoming the man who you overtrewNow you better watch outcause johnnys got a gunYouve got all the armies, youve got all the armsYouve got all the armoriesThe harbors blockaded, the streets barricadedEvery thought is under lock and keyTheres an idea rising that you cant detectFrom the same poor souls you claim to protectTheres a violent burning hatred in every mothers sonYou better watch out, cause johnnys got a gunYouve anchored your warships, cleared all the airstripsReadied the seeds to decayStolen the youth to fill ranks in your troopsKeeping rebellion at bayThe fathers before you who now line the gravesAre being remembered before its too lateAnd their sons you call rebels are coming oneYou better watch out, cause johnnys got a gunThe hours upon you, the past will soon haunt youYesterday becomes todayThe helpless, the hopeless, the lost ones, the homelessThe weak can afford to be braveTheres only much a poor man can takeBefore he no longer fears making mistakesIf dyings the answer, then dying be doneYou better watch out, cause johnnys got a gunTheyve come from the country, the city and shoreTheyve come from the wind and the rainThe come from the fires whos ashes are coldThey come from the desert and snowThey fear theyll be dying but more than that fearThe cries of oppression that no ears can hearUntil every last rebel surrenders or runsYou better watch out, cause johnnys got a gun
