Don't Give Tommy a Gun
There's no doubt Tommy pulled the trigger
There's no doubt he sent scores to their graves
But there was just no way to keep our Tommy in line
Tommy would not behave
When no line of reason helps him see the light
And he picks the opposite out of spite
And when it looks like he's ready to pick a fight or run
You can't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
You can't make Tommy do what's right
You can't tie his hands or contain his fight
But when to him the wrong thing looks like it might be fun
You can't give Tommy a gun
You can't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
You can't blame the parents, You can't blame the teachers
You can't blame the cops or, the well-meaning preachers
But when all the prayers are said and done, oooh oh
Maybe you blame the gun
How could you tell Tommy'd go that far
He was always a quiet kid after all
You never can know all the pain that's in a heart, 'til it's done
Don't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
There's no doubt he sent scores to their graves
But there was just no way to keep our Tommy in line
Tommy would not behave
When no line of reason helps him see the light
And he picks the opposite out of spite
And when it looks like he's ready to pick a fight or run
You can't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
You can't make Tommy do what's right
You can't tie his hands or contain his fight
But when to him the wrong thing looks like it might be fun
You can't give Tommy a gun
You can't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
You can't blame the parents, You can't blame the teachers
You can't blame the cops or, the well-meaning preachers
But when all the prayers are said and done, oooh oh
Maybe you blame the gun
How could you tell Tommy'd go that far
He was always a quiet kid after all
You never can know all the pain that's in a heart, 'til it's done
Don't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
Don't give Tommy a gun
