Audioslave - Sound Of A Gun lyrics

In the here and the now I'll wait down among the young and the old With the moon and the ground I play with my children in my home This is for the daughters and sons of forgotten ones learning how to stand This is for the innocent unknowns buried in the sand All running from a sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun 'til you're weary Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun From the crack in the blackness I'll wake, it's getting closer every night In my city the playground is a battleground between the wrong and the right I could run free as a child I was safe and wild, naked, and unarmed Now I'm gone and safe in my home but some will never stop Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun 'til they're weary Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun The open mouth of the city swallowed up the town On that same old concrete that I still walk down And it seemed they put a shine on this place when I was young Well maybe I just don't see it now Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun 'til I'm weary Running from the sound of a gun Running from the sound of a gun Hey! I'm running from the sound of a gun I'm running from the sound of a gun I'm running from the sound of a gun I'm running from, running from the sound of a gun
