[Verse 1]
Do you know what's worth fightin' for
When it's not worth dyin' for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocatin'?
Does the pain weigh out the pride
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
Go!

[Chorus]
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
Everybody
One, go! (Twenty-one guns)
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I

[Verse 2]
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
[Chorus]
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
Everybody!
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
Get those hands up in the air!

[Bridge]
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
[Chorus]
One, go! (Twenty-one guns)
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
Everybody!
One, go! (Twenty-one guns)
Throw up your arms into the sky
I can't hear you
One, go! (Twenty-one guns)
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One more time!
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
