Big Guns — текст песни (Jenny Lewis)

well you praise him
then you thank him
`til you reach the by-and-by
and i`ve won hundreds at the track but i`m not betting on the afterlife

then you kiss his lips
he forgives you for it
he forgives you for all you`ve done
but not me
i`m still angry

what have i done?
why am i always missing
the big guns?

first i`ll build a sword
get some words to explain
it`s a plan, brother, at least
and i`ll pretend that everbody here wants peace

have mercy, have mercy
have mercy on me
`cos we`re tired and lonely
and we`re bloody

what have we done?
why are we still running from our own failing bodies?
the big guns...

sing mercy, sing mercy
sing mercy on me
let`s pretend that everybody here wants peace

what have we done?
why are we still chasing our own tails?
the big guns...
