We Are All Gunmen

[Verse 1]
No politicians, just compassion
Celebrity, its out of fashion
Innocence don't take a thrashing
On the playground floor
Constable paints awesome skies
Instead of macing suspects eyes
Bankers pay is justified
And all nations come in peace

[Chorus]
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home

[Verse 2]
Sun rises on the village green
Not digitised on a flat screen
Lovers kisses can be seen
Darkness holds no fear
Everyone drinks socially
Not because they’re crippled emotionally
All our sleep is trouble free
Wrapped up in caring arms

[Chorus]
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home

[Verse 3]
Our hopes are old and dressed in rags
The faded colour of many flags and the
Broken metal of our tags
Keeps this dream alive
Well, mistrust could never last
The future lives and not the past
We are only shadows cast
Just trying to hold on

[Chorus]
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home
We are gunmen all
The guardians of the watch towers
Lighting up the beacons
To bring our riders home
