"Can you hear him whistling a little tune

It's about him trying to catch the moon

He's waiting for his father

He'll be coming home soon

He's waiting for his mother

This afternoon



He can't hear what they say, he don't know what they want

So he runs away, cause he fears the gun

He waited in vain, it was something they'd done

He don't know what it is, but he knows that he's alone



Some put the trust in the east

Some put the trust in the west

Some put the trust in the bomb

Some put the trust in their mom

Some put the trust in the in a god

Some put their money in the bank

Some put the faith in the stars

Some put the trust in the guitar



Killing has no reason, killing has no soul

Killing has no right, killing has no goal

Now you might think it's easy to cross into his mind

But he's life is real now, like a picture in his eyes



Some put the trust in the east

Some put the trust in the west

Some put the trust in the bond

Some put the trust in their moms

Some put the trust in the in a god

Some put their money in the bank

Some put the faith in the stars

Some put the trust in the guitar



Can you hear him whistling a little tune

It's about him trying to catch the moon

He's waiting for his father

He'll be coming home soon

He's waiting for his mother

This afternoon



Some put the trust in the east

Some put the trust in the west

Some put the trust in the bond

Some put the trust in their moms

Some put the trust in politicians

Some put their trust in the bodys

Some put the gun to their head

Some put the trust in the dead



Some put the trust in the in a god

Some put their money in the bank

Some put the faith in the stars

Some put the trust in the guitar



Some put the trust in the east

Some put the trust in the west

Some put the trust in the bond

Some put the trust in their moms

Some put the trust in the in a god

Some put their money in the bank

Some put the faith in the stars

Some put the trust in the guitar



Can you hear him whistling a little tune

It's about him trying to catch the moon"
