about

A protest song against senseless gun violence that plagues America. When will we come to our senses, how many more must die because of selfishness and stupidity?

lyrics

THERE’S MADNESS ON THE TELEVISION, MADNESS IN THE GAMES,
MADNESS IN THE CINEMA, MADNESS IN OUR BRAINS.
FOR THE LOVE OF THE BULLET, FOR YOUR ‘GOD-GIVEN’ RIGHT
YOU DISREGARD THE CONSEQUENCES, AND THE LOSS OF LIVES.

WHERE WERE ALL THE SANE THAT DAY, WHEN TWENTY ANGELS WERE BLOWN AWAY
MADMEN TARGET INNOCENT PREY, POLITICIANS BOW TO THE NRA.

HEAVY METAL CASINGS, SPITFIRE CUTTING AIR,
INDISCRIMINATE TARGETS, IT’S MORE THAN WE CAN BEAR
DAILY BLOODY HEADLINES, LOST LIVES THAT WE MOURN
PROMISING FUTURES LOST AND HEARTS THAT ARE TORN

THERE’S A GUY NAMED WAYNE, HE DOESN’T FEEL OUR PAIN, HE WANTS EVERYONE TO LOCK & LOAD
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN, FIX WHAT’S BROKEN, CONGRESS BEEN BOUGHT WITH GOLD
BOUGHT WITH GOLD - BOUGHT WITH BLOODY GOLD

THERE ARE TEARS IN NEWTOWN, PAIN IN AURORA,
GRAVES IN COLUMBINE, THERE’S BLOOD IN AMERICA
YOU CAN SAY I’M A DREAMER, I’M A FATHER TO MY SONS
IMAGINE A PLANET, A WORLD WITHOUT GUNS

WHERE WERE ALL THE SANE THAT DAY, WHEN TWENTY ANGELS WERE BLOWN AWAY
MADMEN TARGET INNOCENT PREY, POLITICIANS BOW TO THE NRA.

FOR THE LUST OF THE BULLET, FOR THE GRIP OF THE GUN,
FOR THE TOUCH OF A TRIGGER, AND THE HARM THAT IS DONE
FOR THE LUST OF THE BULLET, FOR THE GRIP OF THE GUN,
NEVERENDING VIOLENCE, THAT DARKENS THE SUN …
FOR THE LOVE OF THE GUN
