| In a rundown store at the edge of town
|
| They sold a gun called Columbine, called Columbine
|
| It’s been a long, long time since I held a gun
|
| It’s been a long time since the West was won, since the West was won
|
| But I need protection
|
| From people like me
|
| It becomes an infection
|
| Becomes a disease
|
| It’s been a long time since I held a gun
|
| To the head of a man, in the name of love
|
| It’s been a long time since a bullet flew
|
| From the laws that were passed by the powers that be
|
| It’s the same old store where they proudly sold
|
| The gun that shot John Lennon down, shot Lennon down
|
| It’s the same old news when the kids that go
|
| Off to school don’t make it home, don’t make it home
|
| But I need protection
|
| From people like me
|
| It becomes an infection
|
| Becomes a disease
|
| It’s been a long time since I held a gun
|
| To the head of a man, in the name of love
|
| It’s been a long time since a bullet flew
|
| From the laws that were passed by the powers that be
|
| In the land of the free
|
| In the land of the free
|
| You could go fully automatic, give me all that cash
|
| You could go fully automatic, give me cold hard cash
|
| You could go fully automatic, give me cold hard cash
|
| Fully automatic
|
| As an American, this is my right
|
| As an American, this is my right
|
| This is my right
|
| It’s been a long time since I held a gun
|
| It’s been a long, long time since the West was won
|
| It’s been a long time since I held a gun
|
| To the head of a man, in the name of love
|
| It’s been a long time since a bullet flew
