Lay Down Your Swords, Boys Paroles

It's a joke in the men's room misspelled on the stall
But when it's all over, ain't no colors anyway
Like an old silent movie, only black, white and gray

Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns
A new day's a comin' first sight of the sun
It'll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus rides the wings of a dove

Well the bad guys are gone, boys, we run most of them down
when we flattened the hillsides and we pummeled the ground
And speaking on bombs, boys, you'd better believe
That it's better to give boys, than it is to receive

Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns
A new day's a comin' first sight of the sun
It'll shine like a beacon on whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus rides the wings of a dove

Now Old Glory's still flyin', just like before Lay down your swords, boys, lay down your guns
A new day's a comin' first sight of the sun
And it'll shine like a beacon On whoever shall love
While sweet baby Jesus rides the wings of a dove
