Born to Be Gentle

I gave up the gun

I let the bloody waters run

I carved up the space

Wiped the smile off my -

I took down the sword

Killed myself to collect the reward

You like the cut of my jib?

Well, it’s all up for dibs now

Oh my stars!

We love plain

We love plain and simple

Oh my sun!

We were born

We were born to be gentle

I won the toss

And sold it for the biggest loss

And oh, the weight of the prize

The bullets, the battle cries

I called out a name

And nobody, nobody came

And no, not even I knew

Who I was calling

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh my stars!

We love plain

We love plain and simple

Oh my sun!

We were born

We were born to be gentle

Oh my stars!

We love plain

We love plain and simple

Oh my sun!

We were born

We were born to be gentle

Born to...

Born to...

Born to be gentle

Born to be gentle

Born to be gentle

I gave in to it

I let it all be torn to bits

For the fight was the fall

The letting go of it all

And I was amazed

As I lay in a broken daze

At the scope of the sky

The light, the light, the light

Oh my stars!

We love plain

We love plain and simple

Oh my sun!

We were born

We were born to be gentle

Oh my stars!

We love plain

We love plain and simple

Oh my sun!

We were born

We were born to be gentle
