Fiddle or a Gun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] "Times are hard," the old man said "Backs against the wall A young man isn't worth a damn Who wouldn't heed the call [Verse 2] "Boys are going underground Buckle down and hide Pin these colours to your heart Lay your toys aside" [Pre-Chorus] Time to choose Do I have to choose? Time to choose Do I have to choose? A people's war that must be won [Chorus] I put down the fiddle They gave me a gun I put down the fiddle They gave me a gun I put down the fiddle They gave me (A gun) They gave me a gun [Verse 3] Some got scared, some got bought Some got blown away Some got wise and some got taught To fight another day [Verse 4] But the price that we had really paid I didn't see it then March until your feet are sore You never dance again You never dance again [Pre-Chorus] And it's time to choose Do I have to choose? Time to choose Do I have to choose? We spent our best years on the run [Chorus] I put down the fiddle They gave me a gun I put down the fiddle They gave me a gun I put down the fiddle They gave me (A gun) They gave me a gun [Pre-Chorus] And it's time to choose Do I have to choose? Time to choose Do I have to choose? Old men's wars are never done [Chorus] I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle Put down the gun I picked up the fiddle
