Lyrics

Abdallah Nesmaei
Yeah
He's walking home from school, this is back in Iran
Summer vacation soon, a golden key in his hand
Look mama what they gave us, made us men
Chosen by God, I'm finally one of them
And his mother turns pale, let me see that baby
Let me hold it for you, I'll put it somewhere safe
No ma, this is mine, you should congratulate me
You don't know what this means, come here, I don't play
It's a sound, a trick in the sweet mind
This is it, we gotta run, leave our lives behind
It's brainwashing, they really mean something else
They'll have you walk out in a minefield, they won't do it themselves
Packing his bag but can't bring anything
Only food and photographs, baba stay and say goodbye to him
Somehow they made it all the way to where we don't sweep for landmines
We sell 'em, get paid
You got guns, we got guns (We got guns)
Big guns, bigger guns (Big guns)
You want guns, we got guns (We got guns)
You want war, we count funds
I'm walking home from school, back in '85
Glad I never knew the shape of a mine
But I wish I'd known the truth behind the propaganda
They taught me everything from history to proper grammar
They taught me Sweden stood for peace and international solidarity
But please, until we stop living a lie
Taking a right to decide who live and who dies
Then we will never find no freedom
No future, no justice, no peace, not even
That growth that we put on a pedestal
Those jobs we're willing to turn killers for
We're witnessing the fall of capitalism
The world's most short-sighted religion
Swedish business in Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Syria
Ericsson Telia, I'm telling ya
About the renal system
Tracking down the opposition with great precision
Red dot sights from aimpoint optics
We can't afford to lose those jobs and if
People die, well it ain't our problem
Well-groomed politicians and big boy lobbyists
Inseparable like Siamese twins
If we don't sell the guns then the Chinese will
So come on
You got guns, we got guns (We got guns)
Big guns, bigger guns (Big guns)
You want guns, we got guns (We got guns)
You want war, we count funds
They talk 'bout guns, they don't know it like we
Distribution in every country
So leaders hit us up, let's smash it up
We got the most high tech stuff for your massacre
Officially though we're all for peace
But we got pockets to fill and families to feed
And money knows no boundaries
We set up rules to this business
But we can always work around it
It depends on the price tag
And you know we got the premium goods
So we all know you're gonna find cash
We ship it through a middle hand, it's all good
No questions asked, conscience clean
We stay neutral and want no enemies
But when your inventory's running dry
Just pick up the phone and call us, you know why?
You got guns, we got guns (We got guns)
Big guns, bigger guns (Big guns)
You want guns, we got guns (We got guns)
You want war, we count funds
You got guns, we got guns (We got guns)
Buy guns and buy bombs (Big bombs)
Then bygones be bygones
You want war, we count funds
