AGAIN IT’S A GUN

No, it wasn’t your intent and your sympathy’s well-meant, but again the front-page story
You know they’re innocent, but do nothing to prevent
Another tragic tale
Once again it’s a gun and what it says when it’s done:
No more life, don’t think twice, no appeal
Once again it’s a gun, you never thought you’d be the one
Tell us this isn’t real
Suffering for you, that’s what the rest of us will do
Suffering for you, may the echoes of ghosts torment you
Torment you

58, 49, 32, 27, 23, 21, and 18
Orlando, Sandy Hook, Columbine, Virginia Tech
What you bury in-Vegas stays there
Once again it’s a gun and what it says when it’s done:
No more life, no more wife, coffin sealed
Once again it’s a gun. You never thought you’d be the one
Tell us this isn’t real
Suffering for you, that’s what our children will do
Suffering for you, may the echoes of ghosts torment you
Torment you

In the land of the free and the home of the gun, you can’t be a man without one
You thought just one would do the job, but who knows? If there’s a mob
you can never be too safe
Once again it’s a gun. Take the money and run
But don’t talk, it’s not the right time
Once again it’s a gun, let us know when you are done
Saving our sacred amendment
Suffering for you, that’s what the rest of us will do
Suffering for you, may the echoes of ghosts torment you
Torment you, torment you, torment you
Tell us this isn’t, isn’t real
Tell us this isn’t, isn’t real
Tell us this isn’t, isn’t real
Tell us this isn’t real

A Song Can Tell A Story

When words leave off, music begins.
