Put Down the Gat

Put down the gat

I’m sick of this shit
Wake up and wonder if my kids are ok
Not like they’re fighting for our country
Or policing their territory
Jesus fucking Christ they’re our future
Tryin to learn the basics of life
How many more thoughts and prayers
Should we suffer till we say
This shouldn’t be the new normal

Metal detectors and shelter in place
Dont solve anything when the perp
Has more fire than the police
Ar 15 or ak47 weapon of war
Gotta ban that shit
Did it for 10 yrs and mass shootings
Dropped like an anvil what does that say to you

Fuck the nra  and your thoughts and prayers
Won’t bring back some pretty little girl from Uvalde or Orlando or Moon Bay or Las Vegas
Buffalo or Tree of life in Pittsburgh
Or a walmart outside El Paso
Parkland Sandy Hook or Columbine

When do we say enough is enough
Fuck your 2nd class rights
When they kill my family
How many more times do we have to put
Flowers and Pictures where they used to stand
2nd right is to defend the family or country
Not kill our own citizens
