THE GUN GOES OFF

THE GUN GOES OFF WITH A BANG,
ONTO HIS LIFE BY A THIN THREAD HE DOES HANG.
A GUN TO PROTECT YOUR LOVED ONES
YOUR WIFE, YOUR DAUGHTER, AND YOUR SONS.

WHEN PICKED UP BY SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW,
BY SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN SHOWED?
BY SOMEONE WHO THINKS IT IS A TOY,
WHO DOESN'T KNOW IT TAKES AWAY THEIR JOY.

A GUN DOESN'T KILL,
AND PAIN IT DOESN'T FEEL.
YOU SAY YOU NEED A GUN FOR THIS AND THAT,
JUST LOOK: AT YOUR CHILD LAYING FLAT ON HIS BACK?

YOU BROUGHT THAT GUN CAUSE ABOUT OTHERS YOU WAS WORRY,
BUT NOW FOR BUYING THAT GUN YOU ARE SORRY.
NOW, AS YOU STAND OVER YOUR SON'S GRAVE,
IT TURNED OUT THAT HIS LIFE, THE GUN DIDN'T SAVE.
