There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
In this country that we call the USA
We’re outnumbered by guns and under fire
And violence it happens every day
CHORUS:
Put all the guns aside, put all the guns aside
Put all the guns aside right now
Sweep them up and melt them down, we’ll be safer down in town
If we put all the guns aside right now
Oh the storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Another incident that causes us dismay
And more of us are living in fear
CHORUS
Let us greet with a song of hope each day
And keep working for what we know to be true
Hold the line, get out the vote and be brave
Together there’s no stopping what we do
CHORUS
