Put Down the Gun
Put Down the Gun
When fathers hit or speak abuse
And mothers say it’s no use
You grow up with an eye for retribution
But there’s no way of paying back
The hurt that came of a childhood past
Something’s wrong and you don’t know what to do
Put down the gun
It won’t help make you a man
Your daddy’s dreams don’t need defending
Put down the gun
Put down the gun
Give them that serve the chance to protect you
If you’re in need they’ll come and help you
Put down the gun
You might feel your country’s broken
And being white will make you no one
Don’t play the scene with lives you’ve stolen
Put down the gun
When fathers hit or speak abuse
And mothers say it’s no use
You grow up with an eye for retribution
But there’s no way of paying back
The hurt that came of a childhood past
Why not let somebody care for you
So when you want
To end that life you feel like hating
Just turn around you’ll find me waiting
Put down the gun
When fathers hit or speak abuse
And mothers say it’s no use
You grow up with an eye for retribution
But there’s no way of paying back
The hurt that came of a childhood past
Why not let somebody care for you
So when you want
To end that life you feel like hating
Just turn around you’ll find me waiting
Put down the gun
Just turn around you’ll find me waiting
Put down the gun
