Celebration Guns

Are the beating drums
Celebration guns

And then the next day, how will you know your enemy
The thunder and the laughter
Celebration guns
Six hundred sixty-six hundred sixty days
Celebration guns
Are the beating drums
Make them all disappear
The last thing they remember
By their color or your fear
Celebration guns

A desert wind and a perverse desire to win
Celebration guns
One by one you can cage them in your freedom
The last thing they remember

The last thing they remember
Goodnight, sleep light, stranger
The thunder and the laughter
The thunder and the laughter

The last thing they remember

Two guards for one uncharged

This morning's papers, ink stains my fingers
History buried in shame
My hands grow darker everyday

Are the beating drums
Are the beating drums
The last thing they remember
The thunder and the laughter
The thunder and the laughter
Are the beating drums
Are the beating drums
The last thing they remember
The thunder and the laughter
Goodnight, sleep light, stranger
Celebration guns
