Cat Power - Johnny's Got A Gun Lyrics
Crush the resistence before its begunSounds of voices you dont have to confrontYour hands upon a heroBecoming a man? ? ?Better watch outcause johnnys got a gunOoh get all the armiesGet all the armsGet all the armoriesThe harbours blocatedThe streets barricatedEvery thought is under lock and keyTheres an ideal rising that you cant protectFrom the same poor souls you say you protectTheres a fire of burning hatred in every mothers sonBetter watch out because johnnys got a gunAnchored your war shipsClaimed all the air-stripsReadied the seeds of decayStolen youth to fill your troupsKeeping rebellion at bayThe fathers before you now lie in the gravesBeing remembered before its too lateAnd the sons you call rebels becoming oneBetter watch out because johnnys got a gunThe hours upon youThe past will soon haunt youYesterday becomes todayThe helpless the hopelessThe lost ones the homelessThe weak cant afford to be braveTheres only so much a poor man can takeBefore he no longer fears making mistakesDyings the answerThe dying be doneBetter watch out because johnnys got a gunCome from the country, come from the countryCome from the country, come from the countryThe city and shoreThey come from the wind and the rainThey come from the fires whose ashes are coldThey come from the desert snowThey feel theyll be dying but more than that fearThe cries of oppression that no-one can hearTo every last rebelSurrenders all wrongcause johnnys got a gun
