Lyrics
:
You know they're trying to take my life away You know they're gonna make us fade On every corner I can see them there They know my name, I don't know them They're after you with their promises Promises of love They're after you with some forms to sign Sign my life away For living in the backstreets That's our home from home The painted walls are all we've known �The Guns Forever' that's our battle cry It is the flag that we fly so high And every day they try and drag us down (Drag us down and down) I cry with anger I have done no crime (Yeah, yeaoh) 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 Oh, the Sixty-eight They think they know about our life alone From broken homes to broken phones They try to harm us with their sticks and stones They know the names They'll break our bones They're after you with their promises Promises of love They're after you To sign your life away (Yeah, yeaoh) 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 Oh, the Sixty-eight Up on the terrace I hear the crows roar Sixty-eight Guns Down in the subways I hear them whisper Sixty-eight Guns 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 Oh, the Sixty-eight
