Lyrics

I was with the 42nd back in 1943
I fought for freedom on the shores of every sea
But nowadays it's different, all I feel is shame
People dyin' every day and I'm the one they blame
I wish I was a swingset in some little kid's backyard
A tractor in a field or a bumper on a car
I wish I was something that couldn't hurt no one
Of all the things I could've been, I had to be a gun
They hide me in the lockers in the high school halls
I hang out on the corners, I've broken every law
I've laid their in the courtroom, tagged "Exhibit B"
Watched them go away in chains while I go back on the streets
I wish I was a swingset in some little kid's backyard
A tractor in a field or a bumper on a car
I wish I was something that couldn't hurt no one
Of all the things I could've been, I had to be a gun
Underneath the sweater, hidden on a closet shelf
His tiny hands reached for me but I couldn't scream for help
I wish I was a swingset in some little kid's backyard
A tractor in a field or a bumper on a car
I wish I was something that couldn't hurt no one
Of all the things I could've been, I had to be a gun
