What’s the answer to gun crime
Another high school massacre,
Turn these schools into fortresses
Spend lots of money keeping gunmen out,
Working out complex systems to keep everybody safe,
Yet the honest truth and the simplest solution
Is staring you right in your face,
Take away the guns and people are safe
Giving everybody a gun is insane
Do it in the name of the constitution
This is what those who lead say
Buy a gun it will make you feel safe
Or is about lining the pockets of the arms trade
Of which governments are invested in
Making them rich as the blood flows
Sating their greed as the violence flows
After the massacre anger grows
Natural reaction we all know
Words of sympathy from those who allow this to continue
Through a veil of lies
How can saying arming people saves lives
It’s a twisted distorted view
Proportion by those who
Benefit through the bloodshed and the death
And they are not worried who it happens to next
Because they know it won’t be them in their ivory towers
Protected by their power.
