Lay Down Your Swords, Boys

"Lay Down Your Swords, Boys"Well lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns

A new days a comin first sight of the sun Itll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love While sweet baby Jesus rides the wing of a dove

Now our color filled country is a giant strip mall Its a joke in the mens room misspelled on the stall

But when its all over, aint no colors anyway Like an old silent movie, only black, white and gray

Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns A new days a comin first sight of the sun

Itll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love While sweet baby Jesus rides the wings of a dove

Well the bad guys are gone, boys,

we run most of them down

when we flattened the hillsides

and we pummeled the ground

And speaking on bombs, boys,

you'd better believe

That its better to give boys,

than it is to receive

Lay down your swords, boys,

lay down your guns

A new days a comin first sight of the sun

Itll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love

While sweet baby Jesus rides the wings of a dove

Now Old Glorys still flyin, just like before

And your kids aint believin in nothin no more

And you cant really blame em,

same shit we were fed

From the pages of schoolbooks

to the Bibles we read

Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns

A new days a comin first sight of the sun

And itll shine like a beacon

On whoever shall love

While sweet baby Jesus rides the wings of a dove
