Marc E. Bassy - No Guns To Stick By lyrics

Well in case you want to wonder
Why i do the things i do
Well my mother used to sing to me
On Douglas Avenue
And you know the days of sorrow
We are gonna have a few
There were times alone at night
I thought i wouldn't make it through

But i don't sit 'round and count my losses
I don't worry about no bosses
I got no guns to stick by
And i don't need to punish the lawless
Every man's got to bear his crosses
I got no guns to stick by

Well I tip my hat to soldiers
And are sending them in the streets
I wish we didn't go to war
But i know we can't retreat
Well they tell me there's a reason
Or some justice that you claim
To say that it's a fire now
And it's driving you insane

So i can't join with no general's army
I ain't fighting for no one's party
I got no guns to stick by
And i ain't standing for no one's anthem
Just as so many feel like dancing
I got no guns to stick by
But I'll stick by you

There's a hook on the trigger
That's how you shoot down your love
Day that you're down and down
And she goes breaking your trust
It's a tough pill to swallow
But you know you're hollow with love
But inside you is a lightning
You feel like fighting
Say gotta stick to your gun

So i can't join with no general's army
I ain't fighting for no one's party
I got no guns to stick by
And i ain't standing for no one's anthem
Just as so many feel like dancing
I got no guns to stick by
