Lyrics

He's walking home from school This is back in Iran Summer vacation soon A golden key in his hand "Look Mom at what they gave us Made us men, chosen by God I'm finally one of them" And his mother turns pale "Let me see that, baby Let me hold it for you I'll put it somewhere safe" "No Ma, this is mine You should congratulate me" "You don't know what this means Come here, I don't play" It's a sign A trick to make you sweep for mines This is it, we gotta run Leave our lives behind It's brainwashing They really mean something else Then have you walk out in a minefield They won't do it themselves Packing his bag But can't bring anything Only food and photographs Baba stay and say goodbye to him Somehow they made it all the way To where we don't sweep for landmines We sell them and get paid [Chorus] You got guns, we got guns (They got guns!) Big guns, bigger guns (Big guns!) You want guns, we got guns (We got guns!) You want war We count funds I'm walking home from school back in '85 Glad I never knew the shape of a mine But I wish I'd known the truth behind the propaganda They taught me everything from history to proper grammar They taught me Sweden stood for peace And international solidarity? But please Until we stop living a lie Taking a right to decide who live 'n' who dies And we will never find no freedom No future, no justice, no peace, not even That goat that we put on a pedestal Those jobs we're willing to turn killers for We're witnessing the fall of capitalism The world's most short-sighted religion Swedish business in Saudi Arabia Belarus , Syria, Ericsson, Telia I'm tellin' ya About the [?] system Trackin' down the opposition with great precision Red dot sights from Aimpoint Optics We can't afford to lose those jobs And if people die Then it ain't our problem Where room politicians and big boy lobbies Inseparable like Siamese twins If we don't sell the guns then the Chinese will So come on [Chorus] You got guns, we got guns (They got guns!) Big guns, bigger guns (Big guns!) You want guns, we got guns (We got guns!) You want war We count funds (We got guns!) (Big!) They talk 'bout guns They don't know it like we Distribution in every country So leaders hit us up, let's mash it up We got the most high-tech stuff for your massacre Officially though we all for peace But we got pockets to fill and families to feed And money knows no boundaries We set up rules to this business But we can always work around it It depends on the price tag And you know we got them premium goods So we know you're all going to find cash We ship it through a middle hand so it's all good No questions asked. Conscience clean We stay neutral don't want no enemies But when your inventory is running dry Just pick up the phone and call us You know why? [Chorus] You got guns, we got guns (They got guns!) Big guns, bigger guns (Big guns!) You got guns, we got guns (We got guns!) You want war We count funds You got guns, we got guns Buy guns and buy bombs They buy guns, we buy guns You want war We count funds
