And yet it continues. Lawmakers sit on their hands and do NOTHING. We deserve better - we demand better. It is long past time to end the senseless killings.
WEAPONS OF WAR
It keeps comin’ down the tracks - like a runaway train
You can hear the winds howlin’ - in the torrential rain
It’s those weapons of war - bringin’ stormy weather
Just keeps getting’ worse - will it ever get better
The NRA and their gold - are still makin’ the rules
While active shooters - run roughshod in schools
So we train our young children - to hide in the classroom
Banning books not weapons - and accept their doom
So many still parrot - though they haven’t a clue
They say ‘Guns don’t kill people - it’s people who do’
So explain to me Einstein - just how do you figure
That a weapon of war - can pull its own trigger
What is the motivation - a good question to ask
Though more of a deflection - by those put to task
2nd Amendment Rights - they will always defend
Are believed to be sacred - to the bitter end
And in the same breath - they argue right to life
By controlling how women - should live their lives
Save undeveloped embryos - in a woman’s womb
While the young they’ve nurtured - are buried in a tomb
So many still parrot - though they haven’t a clue
They say ‘Guns don’t kill people - it’s people who do’
So explain to me Einstein - just how do you figure
That a weapon of war- can pull its own trigger
