歌曲簡介
《21Guns》作為近期熱映的《變形金剛2》原聲大碟中的插曲，同時也是Green Day今年發行的新專輯《21st Century Breakdown》中的主打歌曲。
《21 Guns》也是一首反戰的歌曲，很容易想到GD的另一首經典之作《 Wake me up when september ends》。Green Day 總是能把“ 救贖 原諒 VS 戰火 死亡 ”詮釋得如此悲壯，然後給人們前進的力量。比照Viva La Gloria的俏皮和另類，21Guns 這首延續了綠日經典曲風和反戰情結的作品，也許更能打動聽眾。
21 Guns中文為21 響，原意為21門禮炮，禮炮最早出自於早在航海時代初，當航行時遇到友國船隻，一般會把自己船上的炮彈全放掉，表示無惡意，而當時的船最高只能載21門炮。而當今按照現在上的習俗，21門禮炮最高榮譽，一般用作總統出席或頒發國家最高榮譽獎時才放21門禮炮。

21Guns歌詞
Do you know what's worth fighting for
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take you breath away
And you feelyourself suffocating?
Does the pain weight out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Does someone break your heart inside?
You're inRUINS
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
When you're at theend of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And thehangoverdoesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking forforgivenessfrom a stone
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
