Sixty Eight Guns lyrics

And now they`re trying to take my life away
Forever young i cannot stay
Hey
On every corner i can see them there
They don`t know my name they don`t know my kind
They`re after you with their promises
(promises of love)
They`re after you to sign your life away
(yeah, yeaoh)

Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns
Oh, the sixty-eight

Living in the backstreets
That`s our home from home
The painted walls were all we`ve ever known
the guns forever` that`s our battle cry
It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they`ll try and drag us down
(drag us down and down)
I cry with anger i have done no crime
No
(yeah, yeaoh)

Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns
The sixty-eight

Up on the terrace i can hear the crowd roar
Sixty eight guns
And in the subway i can hear them whisper
Sixty eight guns
Through all the raging glory of the years
We never once thought of the fears
For what we`d do when the battle cry was over .
Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you`re young

(i, i do swear
To unbreak the promise
To unbreak the vow

Unbreak it)

When you`re young
Have no illusion, no disillusion

Unbreak the promise
Unbreak the vow
Uphold the promise

Sixty eight guns

Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns will never die
Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
Sixty-eight guns
Sixty-eight guns
The sixty eight guns
Sixty eight guns
The sixty eight guns
