“Throw Down Your Guns” is an upbeat song that started out as a love song but later transformed into having a somewhat political message about the gun violence that is prevalent in the duo’s hometown of Chicago. This track incorporates the duo’s pop sound with groove sound inspired by ska and reggae.
[Intro]
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
[Verse 1]
Is this some fucked-up situation?
I'm feeling like a mental patient
Tell me why my heart can't stop misbehaving (Ah)
Gambling won't ever save me
I run around with the wrong men for days
I'm looking for all that it takes to get wasted (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me a hit of amnesia
So that I can forget that I need you
Give me morphine to make it much easier
(Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
[Verse 2]
I'll give 'em another dimension
I miss you so much, I'd rather be dead
Baby, take me on a ride up to heaven (Ha)
I had you deep in my lungs
You took the breath out of me all at once
And I'm sorry for all that I've done (Ha)
[Pre-Chorus]
Give me amnesia
So I can forget I need you
Take my morphine
I don't wanna hurt no more, babe
I don't wanna hurt no more, babe
(Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
[Bridge]
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
[Chorus]
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Nobody move, nobody get hurt
Throw down your guns, throw down your guns
In the name of love, I put my hands up

“My brother wanted to acknowledge the fact that gun violence is everywhere around us and it surrounds us especially in Chicago right now. We wanted to bring our community together. We’re not anti-gun, but we are anti-violence. I thought it would be a beautiful thing to interpret the song in a differ...
