Ammunition Lyrics - Singles - Stage Dolls

(T. Flakne/B. Icon) 

It was early in the mornin', way back when I was five 

somebody's knockin' on our front door 

one chilly winter's night 

my father put his jeans on, and opened up the door 

they were all dressed in uniforms 

he was up against the wall 

my mother took us to the kitchen, my brother and me 

she said listen boys your father's gone 

there was someone he had to see 

as she cried her tears in silence, the sun began to rise 

oh those moments I recall so well 

written down forever in my mind 

Boy when you're all alone 

holdin' back when you wanna go 

take a stand 'cause it's not over now 

ooh kid keep your head up high 

dry your eyes and touch the sky 

take a stand 'cause it's not over now 

Ammunition 

There was a black car on the pavement 

loud voices in the night 

as they dragged him to the waitin' car 

he's puttin' up a fight 

now the streets were black and empty 

bedroom windows cold and damp 

I held my arms 'round my brother 

'cause he didn't understand 

the car moved from the driveway, 

and went into the night 

leavin' two kids by the window 

holdin' each other tight 

Boy when you're all alone 

holdin' back when you wanna go 

take a stand 'cause it's not over now 

ooh kid keep your head up high 

dry your eyes and touch the sky 

take a stand 'cause it's not over now
