The Big Guns Lyrics - Singles - Jenny Lewis With The Watson Twins

Well you praise him 

Then you thank him 

Til you reach the by-and-by 

And I've won hundreds at the track 

But I'm not betting on the afterlife 

Then you kiss his lips 

He forgives you for it 

He forgives you for all you've done 

But not me 

I'm still angry 

What have I done? 

Why am I always messin' with 

The big guns? 

First I'll build a sword 

Get some words to explain 

It's a plan, brother, at least 

And I'll pretend that everybody here wants peace 

Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on me 

Cause we're tired and lonely and we're bloody 

What have we done? 

Why are we still running 

From our own failing bodies? 

The big guns, the big guns... 

Sing mercy, sing mercy, sing mercy on me 

Let's pretend that everybody here wants peace 

What have we done? 

Why are we still chasing our own tails and runnin? 

from the big guns, the big guns, the big guns
