And now they're trying to take my life away
Forever young i cannot stay
On every corner, i can see them there
They don't know my name, they don't know my kind
They're after you with their promises
They're after you to sign your life away

Sixty eight guns will never die
Sixty eight guns our battle cry
Sixty eight guns will never die
Sixty eight guns our battle cry
Sixty eight guns, sixty eight guns

For living in the backstreets that's our home from home
The painted walls are all we've ever known
'the guns forever' that's our battle cry
It is the flag that we fly so high
For every day they try to drag us down
I cry with anger, i have done no crime
