It was early in the mornin', way back when I was five   somebody's knockin' on our front door   one chilly winter's night   my father put his jeans on, and opened up the door   they were all dressed in uniforms   he was up against the wall   my mother took us to the kitchen, my brother and me   she said listen boys your father's gone   there was someone he had to see   as she cried her tears in silence, the sun began to rise   oh those moments I recall so well   written down forever in my mind   Boy when you're all alone   holdin' back when you wanna go   take a stand 'cause it's not over now   ooh kid keep your head up high   dry your eyes and touch the sky   take a stand 'cause it's not over now   Ammunition   There was a black car on the pavement   loud voices in the night   as they dragged him to the waitin' car   he's puttin' up a fight   now the streets were black and empty   bedroom windows cold and damp   I held my arms 'round my brother   'cause he didn't understand   the car moved from the driveway,   and went into the night   leavin' two kids by the window   holdin' each other tight   Boy when you're all alone   holdin' back when you wanna go   take a stand 'cause it's not over now   ooh kid keep your head up high   dry your eyes and touch the sky   take a stand 'cause it's not over now   Ammunition
