lyrics

Darling, stop beating on thd little ones,
They're old enough to hold a gun,
And that trigger's looking mighty fun.

Honey, we gotta find a war to fight,
'Cause something's gonna die tonight,
And you know we're gonna be alright.

And if I go on the run, from all I've ever known
Those days in the sun, every one kills some one
As they go.

Someday, the devil's gonna cry for me,
When he sees my kind of devilry,
He'd have offered me a better seat.

And the hard times, are just as long as those that aren't,
And as every lover plays a part,
We got written with a broken heart.

I know the emptiness of words,
I've spoken every one that you've ever heard.

So darling, stop beating on thd little ones,
They're young enough to hold a gun,
And that trigger's looking mighty fun.

And if I go on the run, from all I've ever known
Those days in the sun, every one kills some one
As they go.
As they go.
