Gun Shy (Live Version)

Gun Shy (Live) - Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)
I always knew that you would
Take yourself so far from home
As soon as and as far as you could go
By the quarter 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
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
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
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
That 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
Not as good at making men
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
