Shelly Verden - God of War

Let's go!
Back when I was younger, just a wee little boy
My daddy bought me a gun and taught me it was a toy
It went bang! Bang! Oh the way it made my ears ring

Shooting and looting, I could do anything
When the people saw me coming they would start to scream
They'd say "hey! Hey!" Keep away from my kids
Cause if you're holding a gun, soon you'll be blowing your lid

Bang! Bang!

As I got older, how my muscles would swell
All the ladies start to crumble and the fellas would yell
"Hey! Hey!" Why don't you come and get a piece of me?

Let them approach, before I take the first swing
They would all get a glancing at the gun I was slinging
If you walk away now, this could end very well
But if you reach for my gun, I'm gonna send you to hell

Who needs love when you've got your sword?
That little sucker does you more than you could bargain for
Don't get greedy, you might fall for the
Temptation to take over the whole damn world

Bang! Bang! Goes the citadel, there goes the grocer
While the men in charge would never dare to get any closer
Tell me what you think all the suffering's for
Cause maybe I don't wanna be the God of war anymore
Bang! Bang!

Capitalize on a big brown state
Sell the country a lie and get the people to hate
And tell your mama's little boy you found a way that he can be a man

Dress him in armor and a combat boot
Tell him men in uniform have never looked so cute
Send him off into battle, tell him you've got a plan
While you've got fear in your eyes, you put a gun in his hand

Who needs love when you've got your sword?
That little sucker does you more than you could bargain for
Don't get greedy, you might fall for the
Temptation to take over the whole damn world

Bang! Bang! Goes the schoolyard, there goes the steeple
If you bury a city you don't have to bury its people
Tell me what you think all the suffering's for
Cause maybe I don't wanna be the God of war anymore
Bang! Bang!

Men have died in my arms and men have died at my hand
I've watched a million fall while just a hundred stand
I've known the righteous cause of fighting battles just to feel something

Women and children pray to keep me away
While the fathers and husbands look to me for the way
And when they slaughter each other, whatcha cursing me for?
I told you I don't wanna be the God of War anymore
Bang! Bang!
