lyrics

I knew a lot of tough guys when I was growing up
Men who knew how to work hard and how to have some fun
They knew their place in the big world and knew their wrong from right
But not a single one would dare bring guns into a fight

Respect was treasured above all and didn’t involve violence
A show of strength meant doing what you had to do to in silence
And knowing how to walk away was just as good as fighting
And guns were only for the weak or criminally minded

These guys would rather take a bullet than to shoot someone
They knew that we are all connected underneath the sun
And to resort to weaponry to make you feel secure
Is giving up the part of you that makes you real and pure

Ladies know
Gentlemen know
So can we go?
Can we go to the future now?

The so-called tough guys of today are all just little boys
They play war in the shadows and they hide behind their toys
I know it’s hard to grow up and to put away your guns
But don’t be scared we’re all connected underneath the sun
