about

So many have been killed senselessly. It’s infuriating that politicians won’t take the steps they should. It may be the person, but it’s also the damn gun.

lyrics

What’s wrong people with this old town
Everywhere I go I hear the same old sound
Talk, talk, talk--talk from sun to sun
And while we talk another fool goes and buys a gun.

Pretty little girl in her pretty new pink socks
Got shot up just a-walkin’ down the sidewalk
Dreams all gone, all dead and gone
While they die another fool goes and buys a gun.

Sweet little kids sprayed with bullets in a schoolhouse
No one seems to give a damn, we’re livin’ in a madhouse
Prayers, tears, prayers from sun to sun
And while we pray another fool goes and buys a gun.

Walkin’ around in a world gone crazy
Big shot politicians in their black Mercedes
Won’t do nothin’, not one thing from sun to sun
And while they’re doin’ nothin’ ‘nother fool goes and buys a gun.

What’s wrong people with the US of A
Lost our minds and we’ve lost our way
Pray, cry, talk from sun to sun
And while we weep and moan ‘nother fool goes and buys a gun.
