On the Ground

I can't watch the news today
But I can't turn it off
That won't fix me feeling this way
That won't make it stop

So just how many more do we have to lose
Before finally we admit there's no excuse?

So when the firing won't stop
I think it's time that we talked
To clean all our hands of this blood
So lay your guns on the ground
There's no need for them now
Though I'm not sure there ever was

I can't read the news today
But I can't put it down
That won't take this feeling away
So I'll carry it around

So gun control, that's fine with me
If you can't be safe, what's the use of being free?

When living here means we live in fear
Enough is enough
If we can't change, then we die in vain
Enough is enough is enough

So when all this arguing is done, who can say who has won?
When all I can see is who's lost
So lay your guns on the ground, there's no need for them now
Though I'm not sure there ever was
