What’s wrong with the world today?
Every time I turn around
Someone in love with the trigger
Innocent lives falling to the ground
Bullets flying through the air
Shopping malls and schools
A crazed shooter who got a gun
Working his trade with his tools
You know it’s true
No one understands
Has the world gone crazy?
Blood on someone’s hands
And the NRA stands its ground
Defending the right to carry
But how will they feel
When it’s their child they bury
We all need a compromise
Where innocent lives are saved
Gun laws that work
Where new safe roads are paved
“Don’t blame me”
The guilty ones always scoff
The problem won’t get fixed until
We take the blindfolds off
