By: Cedric McClester Just another day Of gun violence and fear In the United States So by now it should be clear That our legislators Must not even care They haven’t taken action Since they’ve been in there Just another day Of gun violence and fear Permeating acrid smoke In the atmosphere Bodies lying motionless After the smoke clears And it’s happening so frequently We’ve run out of tears Just another day Of gun violence and fear But we’re not talking Middle East It’s happening right here Every week we seem to have Another cross to bare But the NRA will usually say That we shouldn’t despair Just another day Of gun violence and fear The question is how do we Make it disappear Before we meet our Armageddon In a clearing near If you have a good answer Would you care to share?

JUST ANOTHER DAY (OF GUN VIOLENCE AND FEAR)
By: Cedric McClester Just another day Of gun violence and fear In the United States So by now it should be clear That our legislators Must not even care They haven’t taken action Since they’ve been in there Just another day Of gun violence and fear Permeating acrid smoke In the atmosphere Bodies lying motionless After the smoke clears And it’s happening so frequently We’ve run out of tears Just another day Of gun violence and fear But we’re not talking Middle East It’s happening right here Every week we seem to have Another cross to bare But the NRA will usually say That we shouldn’t despair Just another day Of gun violence and fear The question is how do we Make it disappear Before we meet our Armageddon In a clearing near If you have a good answer Would you care to share?
