We Are All Gunmen

Levellers · Static On The Airwaves [2012]

No politicians, just compasion

Celebrity, its out of fashion

Innocence dont take a thrashin'

On the playground floor.



Constable paints awesome skies,

Intead of macing suspects eyes

Bankers pay is justified

and all nations come in peace.



We are gunmen all,

the guardians of the watch tower;

Lighting up the beacons

to bring our riders home



We are gunmen all,

the guardians of the watch tower;

Lighting up the beacons

to bring our riders home



Sun rises on the village green

Not digitised on a flat screen

Lovers kisses can be seen

Darkness holds no fear



Everyone drinks socially;

Not because they're crippled emotionally

and all our sleep is trouble free

wrapped up in caring arms



We are gunmen all,

the guardians of the watch tower;

Lighting up the beacons

to bring our riders home



We are gunmen all,

the guardians of the watch tower;

Lighting up the beacons

to bring our riders home



Our hopes are old and dressed in rags

The faded colour of many flags

and the, broken metal of our tags;

keeps this dream alive



Well, mistrust could never last

The future lives and not the past

We are only shadows cast

just trying to hold on



We are gunmen all,

the guardians of the watch tower;

Lighting up the beacons

to bring our riders home
