v1:
Another school shooting a couple days ago
It's almost out of my mind, and that's what scares me most
I know a middle-school girl, she just wanted to go home
But I'll never know the teenage ghost
v2:
I know you think you're brave, just a good guy with a gun
And part of me understands why you think you're having fun
Believe me, I sympathize, we all come undone
But no one thinks they're gonna be the one
ch:
They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe
We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me
I've had enough of thoughts & prayers
Let's toss the guns to the bottom of the sea
v3:
You say "faith over fear," but you got me at a loss
You're holding on to what you got, no matter what the cost
All us Christians seem so frightened as we hold our guns aloft
I think we fail to see the meaning of the cross
ch:
They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe
We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me
I've had enough of thoughts & prayers
Let's toss the guns to the bottom of the sea
br:
Other countries got it figured out
I reckon that we're much too proud
You may not like the sound, but we gotta change the scene
-------
Is anyone else feeling numb?
No one likes what we've become
We could fix it, but we're just too dumb or just too f***ing mean
ch:
They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe
We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me
I've had enough of thoughts & prayers
Let's toss the guns
ch:
They say a pretty voice, it ain't easy to believe
We all need to speak some truth and I guess I starts with me
I've had enough of thoughts & prayers
Let's toss the guns
'Cause this ain't goin' anywhere 'til we melt the guns
I've had enough of thoughts & prayers
Let's toss the guns to the bottom of the sea
