Lyrics
Long range guns
aimed from above
Shut your mouth
don't breathe a word
You won't be believed
even if you're heard
And there's no way to get back
to be safe from attack
And the free ways that you won
lead only to bigger guns
Love as a black crow
swoop overhead, dipping low
Shut your mouth
don't breathe a word
You won't be believed
even if you're heard
And there's no way to get back
to be safe from attack
And the free ways that you won
lead only to bigger guns
And there's no way to get back
to be safe from attack
And the free ways that you won
lead only to bigger guns
And there's no way to get back
to be safe from attack
And the brave words that you said
will only damn you in the end
Long range guns...
