I'll Give Up My Gun Lyrics - Singles - Steve Lee

there are so many rules, 

for things that matter to me 

like driving on beaches 

and a licence to fish in the sea 

used to live like a gypsy, 

i'd camp by the side of the road 

but now they just move me along, 

there's no where to go 

well i'll give up my gun 

when the ocean runs dry 

well i remember when fireworks 

were always a family affair 

the whole town would turn up 

to join the event of the year 

well there where crackers and sparklers 

and rockets and fountains and shells 

when they took them away 

they took some of our freedom as well 

i'll give up my gun 

when the sun doesn't shine 

now I lock up my house 

locked up my car and my shed 

if i, try to defend them 

im likely to get locked up instead 

because the scumbags have lawyers and rights 

so the law lets them be 

while the, honest hard-working get shafted 

and fight to stay free 

i'll give up my gun 

when the birds don't fly... 

well i'll give up my gun 

when the ocean runs dry 

and i'll give up my gun 

when the sun doesn't shine 

I'll give up my gun, 

when the birds don't fly 

I'll give up my gun, 

when politicians don't lie
