The track “Gunshots & Bombs” tells the tale of a guy who sees
the death of the American Dream, worries about the future, but
takes comfort that even when the bullets are flying, his girl makes
everything ok. Sounding like an Irish storyteller, Brown says he has
always loved Celtic folk songs, “I think that came out in my writing
later on.”
First thing this morning I turned on the news,
Saw the hope for the future hangin’ by a noose
The American dream’s 6 feet under the ground, I’d swear
that we learned to fly just to shoot shit down
When I hear gunshots at night I’m just glad they’re not bombs
I think the world would agree to hear nothing at all
May the sins of our past wash away with the tide
Don’t worry baby I’m right by your side
