Lay down your arms on the counter
I'll take them in my hand
I'll take them down to the armory
To meet the town's demand
Lay down your arms on the counter
I'll take them in my hand
I'll take them down to the armory
To meet the town's demand
A civilian love
A civilian love
A civilian love
For the company's clock
And a country's clock
Accompanied by a cop
I'll wait with the infirm at the infirmary
For you to come out to the beds
Away from your farms and your pharmacies
For time with me to spend
I'll wait with the infirm at the infirmary
For you to come out to the beds
Away from your farms and your pharmacies
For time with me to spend
A civilian love
A civilian love
A civilian love
For the company's clock
And a country's clock
Accompanied by a cop
All the arms are shot
All the arms are shot
