We give guns to our sons, to protect our land to protect our souls to protect our goals We have guns in the truck guns in the car in the prison bus guns just for fun. guns at the airport guns on the plane guns in the air, guns in every state guns at the armory guns at the bank guns for the money guns in the safe guns on The Hill guns on patrol guns on the street "guns that **** guns on the gangs guns in the trains guns at the range guns on the stage guns on T.V guns at big screens guns at the table, guns on the scene guns on the plains, guns in the mount, guns in the desert, guns we can't count guns in the south, guns from the west, from coast to coast guns everywhere! guns on hand guns on the boats Guns across           ---          the whole wide world. Guns in Mosul, Guns in Iraq Guns in Japan Guns in Slovak Guns in Chicago Guns in Bhutan Guns in Australia, Malay, and Taiwan Guns in Korea, Guns in the ocean Guns on the shores, guns never broken --or sold or banned or destroyed or stolen No token prayer, no sign of devotion no tears or weeping or candles have spoken for the thousands dead, the thousands snuffed dead Guns in the policecar, Guns in the open Guns on the street, But no, we can't own them Our children are dead, dying and born Into a world of guns, and guns that won't go we protect our world, our money, our loves with guns So why don't we do so? With the children? Our sons?

For our sons
We give guns to our sons, to protect our land to protect our souls to protect our goals We have guns in the truck guns in the car in the prison bus guns just for fun. guns at the airport guns on the plane guns in the air, guns in every state guns at the armory guns at the bank guns for the money guns in the safe guns on The Hill guns on patrol guns on the street "guns that **** guns on the gangs guns in the trains guns at the range guns on the stage guns on T.V guns at big screens guns at the table, guns on the scene guns on the plains, guns in the mount, guns in the desert, guns we can't count guns in the south, guns from the west, from coast to coast guns everywhere! guns on hand guns on the boats Guns across           ---          the whole wide world.
