Audioslave - Sound of a Gun

(Revelations)



In the here and the now I wait

Down among the young and the old

With the moon and the ground I play

With my children in my home



This is for the daughters and sons of forgotten ones

Learning how to stand

This is for the innocent unknowns

Burried in the sand



All running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun, till you're weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun



From the crack in the blackness I wake

It's getting closer every night

In my city, the playground is a battleground

Between the wrong and the right



I could run as free as a child

I was safe and wild, naked and unarmed

Now I'm grown and safe in my home

But some will never stop



Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun, till you're weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun



The open mouth of the city swallowed up the town

With that same old concrete that I still walk down

And it seems they put a shine on this place when I was young

Maybe I just don't see it now



Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun, till you're weary

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun, hey



Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from the sound of a gun

Running from, running from the sound of a gun
