Song title: Ruled by the gun


Ruled by the gun - Version 1

Baby I tried to live my life the right way
Walk ??? down
Girl ???
??? And you're the only one
In a world ruled by the gun

Every where I look I see people crying
??? just end up dying
???
On the cathedral steps and the ???
In a world ruled by gun
Ruled by the gun
Baby ruled by the gun
Ruled by the gun

You can build your walls, build'em high baby
Brick by brick, one by one
Broke your fences in half
Till they reach the sun
In a world ruled by the gun
In a city ruled by the gun
Ruled by the gun
Baby ruled by the gun


Ruled by the gun - Version 2

Everywhere I go I see people crying
Every step I take I see young men dying
??? one by one
They lay dead on the cathedral steps in the sun
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun
It's a world ruled by the gun

See ???
Even though ??? muscle for hire
You build a tower, build a wall, one by one
A wall so high as the sun
You say, you say ???
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun
It's a world ruled by the gun

I swear I would find a place I could hide
I swore I'd find a place I could hide
I looked high and low but I could'nt find none
Everywhere I saw I could'nt find none
???
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by the gun

Ruled by the gun
In a world ruled by th gun
In a world ruled by th gun
In a world ruled by the gun
By, by, by, by, by, by
By, by, by, by, by, by
By, by, by, by, by, by
By, by, by, by, by, by
