take me back build in the ghetto it's all too well with nothing to protect with the neighbours [Chorus] 69 guns thundering outside city wall tonights the kingdoms will rise and fall will be the same as before 69 guns 69 guns Expecting the ruins Laid at your feet Another 5 year plan Now the circle's complete [Chorus] 69 guns Thundering outside city walls tonight the kingdoms will rise and fall Will be the same as before 69 guns Serves you well With nothing to protect destroying your building the whole neighbourhood's next kingdoms will rise and fall will be the same as before 69 guns 69 guns
