White Winged Dove (LP版) 歌詞
White Winged Dove (LP版) - Mark Spoelstra
I can play this guitar
I can sing a few notes
I'm old enough now
In this country to vote
So I wrote me a song
'Bout the white winged dove
And a toy gun for Christmas
In place of love
I hear the children yell
With their hands on a gun
I'm better than you
'Cause I got one
My playmates respect me
My mommy does too
'Cause she bought it
For me to shoot whenever I choose
Sometimes I wish
This gun it was real
But I can pretend that it's
Made out of steel
Bullets and powder and a trigger to pull
Then I'd be grown up like
The rest of the world
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
A real one
A steel one
Just a toy
When I grow up it will be okay
To join the army and to vote someday
Like my mommy my country
Will give me a gun
To use like I did
My old toy one
Nobody is born
With the urge to kill
You learn it as you live
And you live as you will
So buy your kids a toy gun
So they will have the right
To kill mankind
Like a dove's last flight
The blood of this world
Is mixed with tears
Guns have been around
For hundreds of years
If that's the way you want it
Then that's the way it is
'Cause the world
What you make it
And we made it blood red
Daddy oh daddy
Buy me some love
I dreamed last night I killed
A white winged dove
Everybody was dead
Except for three things
Me my gun
And the dog gone dream
In my dream the dove
She tried to fly
My toy gun killed her and
I watched her die
Then the wind sang soft like
A tear from above
Your daddy cannot buy back
The white winged dove
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
Just a toy
A real one
A steel one
Just a toy
