Sixty Eight Guns Lyrics

    And now they're trying to take my life away
    Forever young i cannot stay
    Hey
    On every corner i can see them there
    They don't know my name they don't know my kind
    They're after you with their promises
    (promises of love)
    They're after you to sign your life away
    (yeah, yeaoh)

    Sixty-eight guns will never die
    Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
    Sixty-eight guns
    Sixty-eight guns
    Oh, the sixty-eight

    Living in the backstreets
    That's our home from home
    The painted walls were all we've ever known
    ‘the guns forever' that's our battle cry
    It is the flag that we fly so high
    For every day they'll try and drag us down
    (drag us down and down)
    I cry with anger i have done no crime
    No
    (yeah, yeaoh)

    Sixty-eight guns will never die
    Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
    Sixty-eight guns will never die
    Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
    Sixty-eight guns
    Sixty-eight guns
    The sixty-eight

    Up on the terrace i can hear the crowd roar
    Sixty eight guns
    And in the subway i can hear them whisper
    Sixty eight guns
    Through all the raging glory of the years
    We never once thought of the fears
    For what we'd do when the battle cry was over .
    Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you when you're young

    (i, i do swear
    To unbreak the promise
    To unbreak the vow

    Unbreak it)

    When you're young
    Have no illusion, no disillusion

    Unbreak the promise
    Unbreak the vow
    Uphold the promise

    Sixty eight guns

    Sixty-eight guns will never die
    Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
    Sixty-eight guns will never die
    Sixty-eight guns our battle cry
    Sixty-eight guns
    Sixty-eight guns
    The sixty eight guns
    Sixty eight guns
    The sixty eight guns
