lyrics

Gun Control lyrics
Watching Gunsmoke and those cowboy shows
It was easy to follow the plot blow by blow
Goodies and baddies were well defined
There was a clear dividing line

Now there’s confusion and disbelief
Who is the saint and who is the thief?
So many angles and points of view
And is what you’re being told really true?

The devil’s on-line and on T.V.
As on your desires he incessantly feeds
You want it all and you want it now
And you will get it no matter how

You woke up one day determined to kill
You had to fulfil Satan’s dark will
To destroy everything that is good
You said that you’d been abused and misunderstood

You must claim your 15 minutes of fame
But then everyone will forget your name
Remembered as ‘Just a sicko with a gun’
Despised by almost everyone

But give us a chance to understand
Just drop that gun from your hand
Please, give us a chance to understand
Just drop that gun from your hand
That gun from your hand, from your hand

Uncle Sam says, ‘It’s far too late
To take guns outta the hands of those who hate
It’s their constitutional right to bear arms’
Is it their right to maim, kill and cause harm?

So many people burning up with hate
How did the desire to kill become their fate?
To wanna shoot those they don’t like
As they line them up in their sights

You know can do it, you know you can
Just drop those guns from your hands
You can do it you know you can
Just drop those guns from your hands
Drop those guns from your hands, from your hands

You have small children shooting their teachers
Haters killing believers and preachers
Ex-employees and students with a grudge
Setting themselves up as jury, executioner and judge

What has been done and what has been achieved?
You just left children and families to grieve
Was it all for the power, was it for the glory?
After all’s been said and done no-one will be interested in your story

Is to murder all that you understand?
Come on, drop that gun from your hand
Is to murder all that you understand?
Come on, drop that gun from your hand
Drop that gun from your hand, from your hand

You will rot in jail in a dark lonely hole
You will never be let out on parole
It’s time Uncle Sam looked inside his soul
Coz there’s gotta be some sort of gun control
Some sort of gun control
There’s must be some sort of gun control

May the Lord have mercy on your souls!
May the Lord have mercy on your souls!
If there’s no gun control, if there’s no gun control
