Mass Shooting

[Verse One]

Once upon a time on the hill

You could kill a man and call it free will

You could take your handgun and shoot him in the sun-

Once upon a time on the hill

[Verse Two]

You could blame it on the food we eat

Or the drugs you can buy in the street

But the kids got handguns at 16 years young-

You can blame it on the food we eat

[Verse Three]

You can blame it on your old man

Or all the things that you never had

But no machine gun is gonna bring back your mum-

You can blame it on your old man

[Verse Four]

You can blame it on the games we play

Or all the violence we said was okay

You can blame the Playstation for the void in the nation-

You can blame it on the games we play

[Verse Five]

You can blame it on bad education

You can blame it on cheap medication

If you take all those pills they'll take your free will-

Don't blame it on the children

[Verse Six]

You can blame it on Jesus Christ

Or the absence he left in your life

You can blame it on the police;

You can blame it on the streets-

But don't blame it on Jesus Christ

[Instrumental]

[Verse Seven]

Ain't it strange you can buy your ammunition

At the same place you buy your Ritalin?

And if you've got an I.D.,

You can kill the whole team-

Just don't blame it on the children

[Verse Eight]

And it seems the news today

Is the same as it was yesterday

And there's blood on their hands

Till they get the guns banned-

Can't watch the news today

[Verse Nine]

So sing me this lullaby

And sleep as the bullets fly

'Cause somethings gotta change in the home of the brave

Just blame it all on freedom
