Hold on a moment
Let’s take a look
At all that’s happened
Since Sandy Hook
There’s been enough carnage
To write a book
But not enough
For us to get shook

The gun-maker
Big four
Have raked in dollars
Like there was a war
Six hundred plus million
Is hard to ignore
And their balance sheets
Have gone up for sure

Their sales go up
After every tragedy
They have no conscience
And that’s plain to see
But why we tolerate them
Is the real mystery
Because we don’t have to
And that should be key

When will they be
Held accountable
For all the triggers
That those murderers pull
Over whose eyes
Have they pulled the wool
And when will we all
Have a stomach full
