10000 Maniacs ~ Gun Shy


[ natalie merchant ] I always knew that you would take yourself far from home As soon as, as far as you could go. By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the army issue green, For the past eight weeks i can tell where you've been. For i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins. There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me You won't meet it with your gun. So now you are one of the brave few, it's awful sad we need boys like you. I hope the day never comes for "here's your live round son. stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun." Well i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me There was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins. There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me You won't meet it with your gun taking aim. For i don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you And i don't mean to spoil your home coming, But baby brother you should expect me to. "stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun." So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song When you see the stripes of old glory waving? Well i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins. There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me You won't meet it with your gun taking aim. I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you And i don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother jude And i don't mean to hurt you by saying this again, They're so good at making soldiers but they're not so good at making men. more free lyrics

[ natalie merchant ]

I always knew that you would take yourself far from home
As soon as, as far as you could go.
By the 1/4 inch cut of your hair and the army issue green,
For the past eight weeks i can tell where you've been.
For i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun.

So now you are one of the brave few, it's awful sad we need boys like you.
I hope the day never comes for
"here's your live round son. stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun."
Well i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldiers blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun taking aim.
For i don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you
And i don't mean to spoil your home coming,
But baby brother you should expect me to.

"stock and barrel, safety, trigger, here's your gun."

So now does your heart pitter pat with a patriotic song
When you see the stripes of old glory waving?
Well i knew, i could see, it was all cut and dried to me
There was soldier's blue blood streaming inside your veins.
There is a world outside of this room and when you meet it promise me
You won't meet it with your gun taking aim.
I don't mean to argue, they've made a decent boy of you
And i don't mean to spoil your homecoming my baby brother jude
And i don't mean to hurt you by saying this again,
They're so good at making soldiers but they're not so good at making men.

Globalized Sounds

Today, beautiful European and American music, an Afrobeats recorded in Lagos, can play in headphones in Tokyo; a South Korean idol group can fill an Argentine stadium to capacity. On Spotify, the playback volume of African music has increased by 500% in five years; K-pop has already transcended the Asian border and become a common language for young people all over the world; Latin music has consistently topped the streaming charts for several consecutive years. The world is getting smaller while the scope of music is expanding.

The Power of the Scene

When the lights dim and the first note is played, strangers become synchronized. The tremor when thousands sing together, and the melody that still echoes after the crowd disperses - this is an experience that no screen can convey. We look forward to the return of large-scale concerts to the essence of music, and we also look forward to small livehouses continuing to nourish the most vibrant soil of music.

Crossing Borders

Music transcends languages - even if you don't understand the lyrics, you can still shed tears or dance. It transcends cultures - the drumbeats of Nigeria and the chants of Iceland coexist under the same sky. It transcends generations - a song from half a century ago can still bring tears to the eyes of today's young people.

We Create Together

The future of global music is not determined by algorithms, nor is it monopolized by a few giants. It is shaped by every person who presses the play button. Maintain your curiosity, step out of your comfort zone. Support independent musicians and attend live performances. Seek connections through music - because we believe that a song can change a day, and music can change the world.
