From the recording DOWNLOAD
Guns was written in Surry Hills Sydney. It was inspired after watching the movei 'blood diamond' three times in a very short period of time all unplanned. It struck me that people who lead others into battle would be generally saying very similar things to those they want to mainipulate into harming others. It has been going on for thousands and thousands of years and it need to stop!
'Lets bring the power to the people!'
Lyrics
Guns - Tim Stokes
Oh say, oh say, just say what you will
Lead the people but lead them to kill
Fill their minds with thoughts that aren’t real
Oh say, oh say, say what you will
Yeah, you’re on both sides of the coin
Oh say, oh say, just say who you are
Lead the people but lead them to harm
Take the boy and bring him to arm
Oh say, oh say, say who you are
Yeah, you’re on both sides of the coin
It’s been happening for thousands of years
Creating pain and creating tears
To most of us it seems to be clear
We’ve got to love, all those that are near
So we sing
Let’s bring the power to the people!
The people lead you, need to listen yeah, to the talking
Get off your knees boy you can tell the story walking, hey
Let’s bring the power to the people!
It’s gonna get better
I can feel it in my bones
Let’s bring the power to the people!
