Down By Law Guns Of `96 Lyrics

Guns Of `96 Lyrics

Guns of '96, the guns of '96 

the ones that never miss! 

96 guns in the schoolyard 

there's a mama with a broken heart 

wand they promise in november 

but it's broken in december 

the man said boy things will change this year 

boy let me tell you crystal clear 

that man is far away from here 

and I don't want to talk about it 

or hear another word about it 

year of the rat? 

it's the year of the gun 

living in tinsletown, usa! 

guns of '96 

now it's fully automatic 

just one word, he's gonna, let 'em have it 

96 palm trees waved above the riot 

now everybody wants to try it 

hey brother can you spare a dime 

has been replaced with a gleaming shine 

with a .44 and a .45 

tough kids walk the street tonight 

shadows beneath a neon light 

if you got a six-shooter will you feel alright ? 

and the man in the blue box 

stands above the fray 

but you'd better lie low 

or you'll be coming home the horizontal way 

tough kids walk the street tonight 

shadows beneath a neon light 

they got a six-shooter and they feel alright
