Justice bought and sold down the barrel of a gun
When hatred is the weapon there’s no where left to run
We place our outrage on display
Whenever violence comes our way
Turn on the news kids died today
Never action just words to say
Rapid fire with military sights
Brining slaughter to brand new heights
We sit and cry about our rights
While families cry into the nights
Guns in the streets
Bullets in the air
We don’t do a thing
Like we don’t even care
It wasn’t from weapons
Blame it on parents
Blame mental health
Blame incoherence
I’m sorry that you lost your son but that’s no reason take my gun
Guns don’t kill people, people kill people
Many times using guns
The religious right will always fight
Until they start shooting nuns
Political conversation
Is mental masturbation
Trial and tribulation and
Painful aggravation
Point of exasperation
We’re a nation of iration
Of paid for political stagnation
A nation that has had it’s fill
You know its time to act
God dammit bullets kill!
Justice bought and sold down the barrel of a gun
When hatred is the weapon there’s no where left to run
Maybe we should start discussion
Talk ourselves into concussion
Breaking news another eruption
Please excuse the interruption
How many children were blown away
How can we condone more murder today
Is it parents that haven’t shown the way
Or the mentally ill that get thrown away
How many tears must be shed
How many more families must we console
How many more wakes until we wake
How many lives will it take
Before we take a stand
As the number of deaths inflate
It hurts me to think
The best we can do
Is engage in a circular debate
Our conscience is in pain
Jiminy is in the thicket
You can wash the blood from your hands but you’ll never wash
The blood upon your cricket
We all know nothing will be done
Any asshole can get a gun
