Under The Gun Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

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.
