Lay Down Your Swords, Boys Lyrics

Well lay down your swords, Boys
Lay down your guns
A new days a comin'
First sight of the sun
It'll shine like a beacon
On whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus
Rides the wing of a dove
Now our colorful country
Is a giant strip mall
It's a joke in the men's room
Misspelled on the stall

Then it's all over
Ain't no colors anyway
Like an old silent movie
Only black white and gray

Lay down your swords, Boys
Lay down your guns
A new days a comin'
First sight of the sun
It'll shine like a beacon
On whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus
Rides the wings of a dove
Well the bad guys are gone, Boys
Run most of 'em down
When we flattened the hillsides
And we pummeled the ground

And speaking on love, Boys
You better believe
It's better to give boys
Than it is to receive

Lay down your swords, Boys
Lay down your guns
A new days a comin'
First sight of the sun
It'll shine like a beacon
On whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus
Rides the wings of a dove
Now Glory's still flying
Just like before
And your kids ain't believing
In nothing no more
And you can't really blame them
Same s*** we were fed
From the pages of school books
To the bibles we read

Lay down your swords, Boys
Lay down your guns
A new days a comin'
First sight of the sun
It'll shine like a beacon
On whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus
Rides the wing of a dove

Lay down your swords, Boys
Lay down your guns
A new days a comin'
First sight of the sun...
