Letra de Gun shy

I always knew that you would take yourself far from home
As soon as, as far as you could go.
By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the army issue green,
For the past eight weeks I can tell where you´ve been.
For I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier´s blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won´t meet it with your gun.

So now you are one of the brave few, it´s awful sad we need boys like you.
I hope the day never comes for
Here´s your live round son. stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here´s your gun.
Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won´t meet it with your gun taking aim.
For I don´t mean to argue, they´ve made a decent boy of you
And I don´t mean to spoil your home coming,
But baby brother you should expect me to.

Stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here´s your gun.

So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song
When you see the stripes of old glory waving?
Well I knew, I could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier´s blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won´t meet it with your gun taking aim.
I don´t mean to argue, they´ve made a decent boy of you
And I don´t mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother jude
And I don´t mean to hurt you by saying this again,
They´re so good at making soldiers but they´re not so good at making men.
