[Verse 1]
We used to live in a better world
Where sky and water were free
We point the finger, we point the gun
Is that the way it should be?

[Verse 2]
We rape the land and we tear the skin
Burn the blood In the stone
To fuel the fire of a selfish mind
Do you want to live here alone?

[Chorus]
Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun
Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun

[Verse 3]
Such are the sins of humanity
Dark is the air that we breathe
A war to hide in society
Don't close your eyes to deceive
[Chorus]
Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun
Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun

[Bridge]
Too many promises
Too many tears
Where does the future lie
If we burn away the years?

[Synth Solo]

[Verse 4]
We can make this a better world
Where sky and water are free
So give the hand without the gun
Is that the way it will be?

[Chorus]
Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your arms
[Outro]
