The Gun Song Lyrics
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put it down
"Shut up," he said
"Let me speak for a minute or two or three
Now you're gonna stop interrupting me"
So what ya gonna do?
'Cause looking in his face shows a life revealing years of pain
So we'll drop down, let go all because he said so
Boys - with shiny violent killing
Toys - it's all a bit too real now
Noise - this cycle will continue
Boys
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Shut up, my turn
To be heard using force is all that occured to him
And now he's blaming everyone, 'cause he's always been a victim
He's filled with rage, heart beating so fast, don't set him off
I try to make a move but the little boy says, "Shut up or I'll kill ya"
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Shut up or I'll kill ya
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down
Boys - with shiny violent killing
Toys - it's all a bit too real now
Noise - this cycle will continue
Boys - 'cause we can't all be heroes
Boys - with shiny violent killing
Toys - it's all a bit too real now
Noise - this cycle will continue
Boys - 'cause we can't all be heroes
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Scatter gun
It's a war game, making enemies and allies
Scatter gun
Pushed too hard, too fast, totally offside
Scatter gun
Big gun in the hands of a greedy man
Scatter gun
Take a hit, take a shot, just to take a stand
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put it down
"Let me speak for a minute or two or three
Now you're gonna stop interrupting me"
So what ya gonna do?
'Cause looking in his face shows a life revealing years of pain
So we'll drop down, let go all because he said so
Toys - it's all a bit too real now
Noise - this cycle will continue
Boys
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put it down, put it down, put it down
To be heard using force is all that occured to him
And now he's blaming everyone, 'cause he's always been a victim
He's filled with rage, heart beating so fast, don't set him off
I try to make a move but the little boy says, "Shut up or I'll kill ya"
Shut up or I'll kill ya
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down
Toys - it's all a bit too real now
Noise - this cycle will continue
Boys - 'cause we can't all be heroes
Toys - it's all a bit too real now
Noise - this cycle will continue
Boys - 'cause we can't all be heroes
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put down the gun, put down the gun
Put it down, put it down, put it down
It's a war game, making enemies and allies
Scatter gun

Put it down, put it down, put it down
Put it down, put it down, put it down

Somebody.. PLEASE correct these lyrics...... I know they are probably ridiculously (sp?) wrong.. but i can't find them ANYWHERE....
Why can't I find anything related to this song anywhere...it's so awesome :(
I think "The voices are all that occur to him." could be; "using force is all that occurs to him." But I'm not sure. And; "looking at a space" should be "looking at his face". I listen to this song every day on her vampirefreaks profile, I love it so much =)
Oops, I missed the warning that I shouldn't post the corrections in comments. xD Sorry! x.x
I always pictured this song as relating to kids (gangster wannabes) these days shooting each other over nothing and she's explaining why they're doing it using one as an example.
You should Edit these Lyrics... They lack lots of Important Lyrics....
About a school shooter. Definitely.
