Water Guns
When I was just a little boy
Me and my father
Would go out back and play a little game of cops and robbers
One day he cocked the gun and pointed to my mom and shot her
And I cried and cried with laughter
After I realized it was just water
But things have changed now
The world just ain't the same now
We're frightened but we need to be enlightened
Use our brain now
People pointing fingers trying to find someone to blame now
Ashamed how the game of cops and robbers ain't a game now
These ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
And these ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
Look around tell me how we ever got here
We fighting hard but the reasoning is not clear
Stop here, where is the love if it's not here
The solution to not getting shot here
Is not fear
And we can fly away on a balloon to another land
Or we can make this home
Find another plan
Too much blood on these yellow bricks streets
And history repeats until we can finally hold our brothers hand
These ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
And these ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
So take my hand in your hand
And let's stand if we can
Pray for all the fallen ones
These ain't
(These ain't)
These ain't water guns
Take my hand in your hand
And let's stand if we can
Pray for all the fallen ones
These ain't
(These ain't)
No these ain't water guns
These ain't water guns
These ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for (what are we fighting)
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
And these ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
These ain't water guns (water guns no more)
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for (why are we fighting)
'Cause these ain't water guns (water guns, can you hear me)
Water guns no more
And these ain't water guns
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we're fighting for
'Cause these ain't water guns
Water guns no more
Do you hear them?
These ain't water guns no more
Me and my father
Would go out back and play a little game of cops and robbers
One day he cocked the gun and pointed to my mom and shot her
And I cried and cried with laughter
