I'll trade you my roses
for cannonballs
ten thousand red roses
for cannonballs
roses, they might soften you up
but they just won't tear down walls
so I'll trade you my roses
for cannonballs
Jimmy's dad worked at the factory
down in Pontiac
thirty odd years in the factory down in Pontiac
Jimmy's dad says he doesn't hate anyone
he just wants his old job back
Jimmy's dad worked at the factory down in Pontiac
Angel's dad's gone he's been sent down
to Mexico
caught going seventy five in a sixty
sent to Mexico
Angel's dad lost everything that he had
and everyone he's ever known
Angel's dad's gone he's been sent down
to Mexico
My mama says that maybe just maybe
we've all been too kind
I dunno but maybe just maybe
we've all been too kind
My mama says hey, we've gotta fight with our sweat
and not just with our minds
My mama says that maybe just maybe
we've all been too kind
So I'll trade you my roses
for cannonballs
ten thousand red roses
for cannonballs
roses, they might soften you up
but they just won't tear down walls
so I'll trade you my roses
for cannonballs
