Sound Of A Gun Lyrics - Revelations - Audioslave

In the here and now I wait 

Down among the young and the old 

Between 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 

Buried in the sand 

I'm running from the sound of a gun 

Running from the sound of a gun 

'Til I'm 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 

And my city playground is a battleground 

Between the wrong and the right 

I could run 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 

'Til 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 

And baby, I just don't see it now 

Running from the sound of a gun 

Running from the sound of a gun 

'Til I'm weary 

Running from the sound of a gun 

Running from the sound of a gun 

Running from the sound of a gun 

Running from the sound of a gun 

I'm running from the sound of a gun 

I'm running from, I'm running from the sound of a gun
