GUN SHY continued
Natalie Merchant / Christian Burial Music © 1987
there is a world outside of this room and
when you meet it promise me
you won't meet it with your gun taking aim

I don't mean to argue
they've made a decent boy of you and
I don't mean to spoil your homecoming
but baby brother you should expect me to

"stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun"

so now does your heart pitter pat
with a patriotic sound
when you see the stripes of old glory waving?

well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
there was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins

there is a world outside of this room and
when you meet it promise me
you won't meet it with your gun taking aim

I don't mean to argue
they've made a decent boy of you
I don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother Jude
and I don't mean to hurt you by saying this again
they're so good at making soldiers
but they're not so good
at making men
