Audioslave - Sound of a gun

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 same

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 I'm 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
