[Verse 1] (Riff 1)
G7
Everybody shouting, working up a sweat
G7
Stepping over lines, you know what happened next
     G7
More trouble, than anyone can use
       G7                             E5   F5    F#5 G7
It's a pre-determined thing, you lose your right to choose
 
 
[Verse 2] (Riff 1)
G7
  No way to turn it around
        G7
You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down
G7
Once you press the button, man, it's coming to a head
G7                                E5   F5   F#5 G7
Pretty soon, babe, you'll be a long time dead
 
 
[Bridge]
Eb                     Bb/D
  Little brother, I'm telling you now
     C
Your pride can take a hit
Eb                 Bb/D
  Little brother, take a deep breath
         C
Cool off, man, forget about it
 
 
[Chorus] (Riff 2)
G7
  Drop the weapon
G7
Kick it away
G7
  Drop your gun
         N.C.
Look the other way
G7
  Drop the weapon
G7
Live another day
G7
  Drop your blade
          N.C.
Listen to what I say
 
[Verse 3] (Riff 1)
 G7
Who you trying to impress? You making a bid
        G7
To be a big shot brother, but you're just a small kid
 G7
Now your reputation got a minor stain
         G7                E5      F5  F#5 G7
It'll be washed away by tomorrow's rain
 
 
[Bridge]
Eb                     Bb/D
  Little brother, I'm telling you now
     C
Your pride can take a hit
Eb                 Bb/D
  Little brother, take a deep breath
         C
Cool off, man, forget about it
 
 
[Chorus] (Riff 2)
G7
  Drop the weapon
G7
Kick it away
G7
  Drop your gun
         N.C.
Look the other way
G7
  Drop the weapon
G7
Live another day
G7
  Drop your blade
          N.C.
Listen to what I say

 Where the hell did you go?

              Everybody shouting, working up a sweat
Stepping over lines, you know what happened next
More trouble, than anyone can use

No way to turn it around
You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down
Once you press the button man it's coming to a head
Pretty soon babe you'll be a long time dead

Little brother I'm telling you now
Your pride can take a hit
Little brother take a deep breath
Cool off man, forget about it

Drop the weapon

Drop your gun
Look the other way
Drop the weapon
Live another day
Drop your blade
Listen, to what I say

Who you trying to impress, you making a bid
To be a big shot brother, but you're just a small kid

Peace and love
Come and hold my hand
Then we can all stand
And say a prayer
To someone out there
Anyone out there
