Ammunition Lyrics

Ammunition lyrics

It was early in the mornin', way back when I was five

somebody's knockin'
on our front door

one chilly winter's night

my father put his jeans
on, and opened up the door

they were all dressed in uniforms

he was
up against the wall

my mother took us to the kitchen, my brother and
me

she said listen boys your father's gone

there was someone he had
to see

as she cried her tears in silence, the sun began to rise

oh
those moments I recall so well

written down forever in my mind

Boy
when you're all alone

holdin' back when you wanna go

take a stand
'cause it's not over now

ooh kid keep your head up high

dry your
eyes and touch the sky

take a stand 'cause it's not over now

Ammunition

There was a black car on the pavement

loud voices in
the night

as they dragged him to the waitin' car

he's puttin' up a
fight

now the streets were black and empty

bedroom windows cold and
damp

I held my arms 'round my brother

'cause he didn't understand

the car moved from the driveway,

and went into the night

leavin'
two kids by the window

holdin' each other tight

Boy when you're all
alone

holdin' back when you wanna go

take a stand 'cause it's not
over now

ooh kid keep your head up high

dry your eyes and touch the
sky

take a stand 'cause it's not over now

Ammunition
