[verse 1] Well in case you want to wonder Why i do the things i do Well my mother used to sing to me [?] side of the [?] And you know the days of sorrow We are gonna have a few There were times alone at night I thought i wouldn't make it through But i don't sit 'round and count my losses I don't worry about no bosses I got no guns to stick by And i don't need to punish the lawless Every man's got to bear his crosses I got no guns to stick by [verse 2] Well i tip my hat to soldiers And i send them in the streets I wish we didn't go to war But i know we can't retrieve Well they tell me there's a reason Or some justice that you claim To say that it's a fire now And it's driving you insane So i can't join with no general's army I ain't fighting for no one's party I got no guns to stick by And i ain't standing for no one's anthem Just as so many feel like dancing I got no guns to stick by But i'll stick by you [bridge] (?) on the trigger That's how you shoot down your love (?) that you're down and down And she goes breaking your trust It's a tough pill to swallow But you know you're hollow with love But inside you is a lighting You feel like fighting Say gotta stick to your gun [Chorus] So i can't join with no general's army I ain't fighting for no one's party I got no guns to stick by And i ain't standing for no one's anthem Just as so many feel like dancing I got no guns to stick by (x3)
