don't shoot that gun

i used to think the world was safe

there's nothing i would change

now i'm afraid to step outside

or book a holiday

the things i'm seeing on the news

wanna turn back time and say

'don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun'

we shouldn't feel anxiety

to take our kids to school

what's with this new society?

it's full of evil

i know that life can get messed up

but there's help out there for you

'don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun'

don't shoot that gun

you know you're only gonna kill someone

but in your twisted mind you think it's fun

to watch us run

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

a human life's worth so much more

than any point you'll make

and two wrongs never make it right

so stop for heavens sake

cos somewhat controversially

i put this in a song

so don't be the one

don't be the one

shoot that gun

you know you're only gonna kill someone

but in your twisted mind you think it's fun

to watch us run

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

and we'll see better days

don't shoot that gun

don't take that life away

don't turn & run

they'll find you anyway

this all could be undone

if you don't shoot that gun

shoot that gun

you know you're only gonna kill someone

but in your twisted mind you think it's fun

to watch us run

shoot that gun

you know you're only gonna kill someone

but in your twisted mind you think it's fun

to watch us run

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot that gun

don't shoot
