[Verse 1]
I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel
I shoot even better than the way I feel
Made to fit right in your hand
Why I'll never understand
[Verse 2]
I could've been a hammer or a railroad spike
I could've been a train rolling through the night
But they gave my voice such a terrible sound
That I wish they'd left me in the ground
[Chorus]
I'm a peacemaker
Don't know how I got my name
I'm a peacemaker
If I don't deserve the credit
Why do I deserve the blame?
[Verse 3]
When the lion lays down with the lamb
Then you won't find me in nobody's hand
Till that time I will remain
Till the sinners lay down with the saints
[Chorus X2]
[Outro]
I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel
I shoot even deader than the way I feel
I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel
I shoot even better than the way I feel
Made to fit right in your hand
Why I'll never understand
[Verse 2]
I could've been a hammer or a railroad spike
I could've been a train rolling through the night
But they gave my voice such a terrible sound
That I wish they'd left me in the ground
[Chorus]
I'm a peacemaker
Don't know how I got my name
I'm a peacemaker
If I don't deserve the credit
Why do I deserve the blame?
[Verse 3]
When the lion lays down with the lamb
Then you won't find me in nobody's hand
Till that time I will remain
Till the sinners lay down with the saints
[Chorus X2]
[Outro]
I'm a cool three pounds of cold blue steel
I shoot even deader than the way I feel
