we are all gunmen

no politicians

just compassion

celebrity

its out of fashion

innocence don't take a thrashin'

on the playground floor

constable paints awesome skies

instead 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

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

we are gunmen all

the guardians of the watch tower

lighting up the beacons

to bring our riders home
