Audioslave - Sound Of A Gun

In the here and now I waitDown among the young and the oldWith the moon and the ground I playWith my children in my homeThis is for the daughters and sonsOf forgotten onesLearning how to standThis is for the innocent unknownsBuried in the sandRunning from the sound of a gunTill you're wearyRunning from the sound of a gunFrom crack of the blackness I wakeIt's getting closer every nightMy city playground is a battlegroundBetween the wrong and the rightI could run free as a childI was safe and wildNaked and unarmedNow I'm grown and safe in my homeBut some will never stopRunning from the sound of a gunTil' you're wearyRunning from the sound of a gunThe open mouth of the citySwallowed up the townWith that same old concreteThat I still walk downAnd it seems they put a shineOn this place when I was youngmaybe I just don't see it nowRunning from the sound of a gunTil' I'm wearyRunning from the sound of a gun
