Take the Blindfolds Off

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
