Here’s my newest song. The recording is a little rough, but I wanted to get it out in the world. Link to SoundCloud below, followed by a transcript of the lyrics.
Well, it’s happened again, this time in Nashville
Armed and prepared and ready to kill
anyone in the path of the bullets’ spray
oh It’s just another day in the USofA
Your thoughts and your prayers and your phony tears
We get your messages loud and clear
you want more rights for your goddamn guns
than we have for our daughters and sons
You outlaw a drag show and transgender youth
Priorities twisted, denying the truth
It’s the guns, it’s the guns, it’s the guns, it’s the guns
Killing our daughters and sons.
[Bridge]
Now we’ve nowhere to go, no place that feels safe
not grade schools or dance halls, or houses of faith
The second amendment so misunderstood.
Now robbing our babies of childhood
<Keening>
The weapons they use are intended to slaughter
Innocent people served up as fodder
An AR15 in the hands of a teen
killing our sons and our daughters
Each time this happens we scream NOT ONE MORE
But you turn away, you choose to ignore
And it’s clear where you and the NRA stand
you have so much blood on your hands
[Bridge]
Now we’ve nowhere to go, no place that feels safe
not colleges, concerts, or houses of faith
You think the solution for our daughters and sons
is a good guy with a gun
It’s the guns, it’s the guns, it’s the guns, it’s the guns
Killing our daughters and sons.
It’s the guns, it’s the guns, it’s the goddamn guns
Killing our daughters and sons.
Killing your daughters and sons.
