Текст песни Jenny Lewis - Big Guns

well you praise him
then you thank him
'til you reach the by-and-by
and i've won hundreds at the track but i'm not betting on the afterlife

then you kiss his lips
he forgives you for it
he forgives you for all you've done
but not me
i'm still angry

what have i done?
why am i always missing
the big guns?

first i'll build a sword
get some words to explain
it's a plan, brother, at least
and i'll pretend that everbody here wants peace

have mercy, have mercy
have mercy on me
'cos we're tired and lonely
and we're bloody

what have we done?
why are we still running from our own failing bodies?
the big guns...

sing mercy, sing mercy
sing mercy on me
let's pretend that everybody here wants peace

what have we done?
why are we still chasing our own tails?
the big guns...
