Sixty Eight Guns Lyrics - The Alarm

And now they are trying to take my life away 

Forever young I cannot stay, on every corner I can 

See them there. They don't know my name they 

Don't know my kind. They're after you with their 

Promises. they're after you to sign your life away. 

For living in the backstreets that's our home from 

Home. the painted walls are all we've ever known 

And "The Guns Forever" that's our battle cry. it is 

The flag that we fly so high and every day they try 

To drag us down but I cry with anfer I have done 

No crime. For up no the terrace I can hear the 

Crowd roar and down in the subway I can hear 

Them whisper and through all the ragin glory of 

The years we never once thought of the fears fir 

What we'd do when the battle cry was over. 

Nothing lasts forever is all they seem to tell you
