Gun Shy Lyrics

Gun Shy lyrics

Gun Shy
      I always knew that you would take yourself so far from home as soon as, 
and as far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair by the Army issue 
green, for the past eight weeks I can tell where you`ve been. For I knew, I 
could see, it was all cut and dried to me there was soldier`s blue blood 
streaming inside your veins. There is a world outside of this room and when you

meet it promise me that you won`t meet it with your gun.
      So now you are one, one of the brave few, and it`s awful sad we need boys

like you. I hope the day never comes for "Here`s your live round son.
Stock and 
barrel, safety, trigger, here`s your gun." Well I knew, I could see, it
was all 
cut and dried to me there was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins. 
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me that you 
won`t meet it with your gun taking aim. For I don`t mean to argue, that they`ve

made a decent boy of you and I don`t mean to spoil your home coming, but baby 
brother you should expect me to.
      "Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here`s your gun." So now
does your 
heart pitter pat with a patriotic song when you see the stripes of Old Glory 
waving? For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me there was 
soldier`s blue blood streaming inside your veins. There is a world outside of 
this room and when you meet it promise me that you won`t meet it with your gun 
taking aim. I don`t mean to argue, they`ve made a decent boy of you and I don`t

mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother Jude and I don`t mean to hurt you

by saying this again, they`re so good at making soldiers but they`re not as 
good at making men.
