I seem to have just written one! I remembered this thread and figured better late than never. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... 8485Johnny Put Your Gun DownYonder comes a manIn a suicide vestSaying God’s in the EastAnd the Devil’s in the WestGonna blow away these devilsSmiling in their SUVsHe’s much too young for heavenBut he’s just dying to rest in peaceChange is a-comin’Always did and always doesThe past taught a lessonCan’t remember what it wasWe might lose the futureSo we gotta win the warBut then the Voice of God says “Johnny put your gun downThought I told you not to fight no more”Times are getting toughBut I do what I canI work hard for a livingI’m just a family manSome crazy freak on a missionTrying to send me to HellIs gonna get just what he’s givingHe’s gonna scream in his cellChorusCan’t depend on a miracleFlashing down from aboveIt’s gonna take a lot of patient conversationIt’s gonna take a little loveBetter lay down your weaponBetter reach out your handNo victory, no surrenderJust talk to the manWe all have a problemBut we all deserve to liveI pray we both find an answerI pray we find the strength to forgiveChorus(Copyright 2008 by Mark Kaufman)
