Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hand
[Verse 2]
Give a dog a bone
He'll eat for the day
But teach him how to kill then
[Verse 3]
I am the coast defence
I am the city wall
Stealing pounds and pence
From you all
[Verse 4]
Still no one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hand
[Verse 5]
Pour salt water on the wound
Pour salt water on the wound
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wound
[Verse 6]
When the boy's older
He'll have the arms of a soldier
Those arms will never hold her again
It's just like I told you
When the boy's older
He's gonna be a soldier for them
[Verse 7]
Pour salt water on the wound
Pour salt water on the wound
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wound
[Verse 8]
I hope life is good for you
I hope life is good for you
I hope life is good for you
I hope life is good for you
