Bringing Rocks to Gunfights Lyrics by Simon van Genderen

Long Days

2022

[Verse]
The sky is lined with missiles in the night and everyone is told to go inside
Seek shelter when the alarm sounds. Lay flat on the ground
How can the neighbours sleep so comfortably while their government is killing off the weak
And stealing from those who don't have anything at all?
[Chorus]
If you hear the sirens haunt you in your nightmares. Open up your eyes and run as fast as you can
In unequal standoffs, bringing rocks to gunfights, only to protect the roof that’s over your head
[Verse]
The headline reads that fifty people diеd. It still isn't enough for a ceasefirе
This is a pissing contest between two manchildren
There’s not a single party that will win. Everyday will be the day of reckoning
And innocent civilians will be forced to pay
[Chorus]
If you hear the sirens haunt you in your nightmares. Open up your eyes and run as fast as you can
In unequal standoffs, bringing rocks to gunfights, only to protect the roof that’s over your head
[Bridge]
In good time, our lives will intertwine
You’ll find our minds are alike
[Chorus]
If you hear the sirens haunt you in your nightmares. Open up your eyes and run as fast as you can
In unequal standoffs, bringing rocks to gunfights, only to protect the roof that’s over your head
