Gun In Your Hand Lyrics
probally one of there best songs.. speaking of the pointlessness and tragidy of war..
beautiful song. the last part starting with "we can't fight all night!" gets me everytime. i hate war. and i hate the government for not dealing with shit in more civilized ways. boooooo!
ahh, this song is great. it's definitely about war, but i think it's also about how people don't think for themselves, like in the line "i can see a soldier marching off to war/ does he know what he is fighting for?"
He dosn't wanna fight, or go off to war. It just kills innocent people that shouldn't be hurt. and I totally agree with superrstarr. I have this song on my binder. This song really goes along with what's going on today.
Hippies... like it or not... war solves probems.
War is inevitable, and it's better to get them before they get you, read some machiavelli, he puts it the best. I think his real complaint is that the soldiers are mere pawns, little men, fighting the battle for the bigger men (the more powerful politicians and big businessmen). War will not benefit the soldiers as much as it will benefit the ones giving the orders.
I don't think that is what he is saying at all... Its the opposite of the us against them mentality, and no you dont have to get them before they get us... War also does not solve problems... If it did there would be no more war because all the problems would be solved... But they arent.. Im not saying we have to abstain from all war... If I lived in poverty in a country where I die at any time I think I would wan someone to come help me... But the more violence, the more blood will be shed... Thats my rant. No offense to anyone... We all have the right to our opinion
All this talk about the ends justifying the means in war, you all have a point. Byt the point of this song is that all that stuff is terrible. Can we all agree on that?
"well you won't see me on that fucking front line" I think that says it all. Fuck Bush and other faschist trying to make you kill and die... Think for yourself :)
"gonna give yourself a heart-attack" .. cheney reference? that's pretty funny
