Fitting the coming age theme that was seen carried throughout the album, this song plants the idea of getting the hell out of wherever you are when you are struggling. Nothing is worth living in pain and fear and there are times when the need to get away trumps all. As the song closes out Jean gives...
[Verse 1]
My brother was the man of house
Trouble, I could never keep out
I was 17 smoking cigarettes
Newport, blue Kool
Maybe I'm upset
[Chorus]
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
[Verse 2]
So much for shadows
I
Find myself
In memories of you
So much for shallows
I
Drown myself
In memories of you
[Bridge]
We can run away, no more lonely place
Let’s go
We can fall asleep, hide from everything
Let go
We can jump off the cliff, fall and break your
Halo
We can save our fucking selves
Fuck'em age we won't know
We can run away, only sunny days
Let’s go
We can fall asleep, say fuck everything
Let go
We can hang off the cliff, laugh at the devil
We can save our fucking selves
Children of the age
[Chorus]
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
And they said, "Boy, take this gun and go"
