| One bullet, one gun
|
| One dead, but we all bleed son
|
| And you know it’s such a shame
|
| One life, more tears
|
| I can’t believe that it’s going on here
|
| God knows it’s such a shame
|
| Take a look at America
|
| 'Cause it’s much too late
|
| Once the horse has run
|
| You can’t go back and shut the gate
|
| If we ever see the day
|
| When all innocence is gone
|
| Tell me, what have we become?
|
| One child in the way
|
| Wrong time at the wrong place
|
| And you know it’s such a shame
|
| Too young to live in fear
|
| But you ain’t got the time
|
| To be a kid 'round here
|
| Lord knows it’s such a shame
|
| You shouldn’t have to worry now
|
| When you barely reach fifteen
|
| You got enough to cope with anyway
|
| If we can’t protect the young
|
| From themselves it would seem
|
| We’re watching as our future slides away
|
| Why in this crazed new millennium
|
| Do we still have so much to learn?
|
| Tell me why
|
| When it’s clear in the past every scared kid would run
|
| Now he’s wrapping his fist 'round a gun
|
| And somebody dies
|
| One bullet, one gun
|
| One dead and we all bleed son
|
| And you know it’s such a shame
|
| One life, more tears
|
| I can’t believe that it’s going on here
|
| And you know it’s such a shame
|
| You know it’s such a shame |
