I Need Ammunition Not A Ride

 

The enemy stepped up and knocked down our door

His soldiers are ready and marching to war

You offer to get me away so to hide

I need ammunition, not a ride

 

The battle is raging from inland to shore

The children are scared as they hide under floors

Their mothers and fathers comfort their cries

I need ammunition, not a ride

 

You tell me, you tell me you love me

So love me, love me by giving me

Everything I need to survive

 

I know what you’re thinking, you know what’s in store

The rockets are sounding a thunderous roar

You tell me that leaving will keep me alive

I need ammunition, not a ride

 

You tell me, you tell me you love me

So love me, love me by giving me everything

You tell me you love me

So love me, love me by giving me

Everything I need to survive

 

I need ammunition, not a ride
