The Gun Song

The Gun Song Lyrics

Put down the gun. (13x)

Put it down.
"SHUT UP!" he said
"Let me speak for a minute!
Or two or three. Now you're going to stop interrupting me!"
So watcha gunna do cuz looking at his face shows a life revealing years of pain
So we'll drop down, let go, Oooh we'll get you set so...

Boys with shiny violent killing toy
It's all a bit to real now noise
The cycle will continue boys

Put down the gun. (13x)
Put it down (3x)

SHUT UP!
My turn
To be heard

The voices are all that occur to him.
And now he's blaming everyone, 'cause he's always been a victim.
[He's] filled with rage.
Heart beating so fast, don't set him off
I tried to make a move
But the little boy says,
"SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YA"

Put it down (3x)
"SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YA"
Put it down (5x)

Boys with shiny violent killing toy
It's all a bit to real now noise
The cycle will continue boys
Cuz we can't all be heroes
Boys with shiny violent killing toy
It's all a bit to real now noise
The cycle will continue boys
Cuz we can't all be heroes

Put down the gun. (13x)
Put it down (3x)

Scatter gun!

It's a war game making enemies and allies
Scatter gun
Push to hard, to fast totally off side
It's scatter gun
Big gun in the hands of a greedy man
Gotta gun
Take a hit, take a shot just to take a stand
Put it down (12x)
