Audioslave - Sound Of A Gun

In the here and now I wait
Among the young and the old
Between 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
Running from the
sound of a gun
Running from the
sound of a gun
And you're weary
Running from the
sound of a gun
Running from the
sound of a gun
In the crack of
the blackness I wake
It's getting closer
every night
My city 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 grown 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' you're weary
Running from the
sound of a gun
Running from the
sound of a gun

The open mouth of the city
Swallowed the town
With that same old concrete
That I still walk down
And it seems
they put a shine
On this place
when I was young
But baby 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

Running from the
sound of a gun
Running from the
sound of a gun
Running from the
sound of a gun
Running from
Running from the
sound of a gun
