Break a man, break a promise   Break a heart, break a home   Take a long hard look at a heaven   Gone to hell under the gun   See the child, young and hungry   Growing wild, on the run   And he'll die reaching for freedom   He was born under the gun   Swollen men, blind with power   Break the rules, one by one   With their lies raising the danger   Of their games under the gun.   No more time, no more chances   No more wars will be won   In the end only the losers   Hold the land under the gun   Hold the truth like a candle   Let it shine like the sun   On the love that's left to believe in   In a world under the gun.
