America the Violent

Lyrics by Paula Lawrence Sparks and Scott Shields

Thoughts and prayers and moments of silence
Tragically won't deter gun violence
Not if you bow your head to pray
To Wayne LaPierre and the NRA

Good guys with guns can't stop your worries
When the bullets fly from 32 stories
Not when the only break in sound
Is the gunman loading another round

Chorus:
Man-da-lay
Was a killing ground today
They will never walk away
From Mandalay Bay

Open carry, no permit required
So the shooter sat in his room and fired
His view of the victims easy and clean
For his large capacity magazine

So the bodies fell like fish in a barrel
Hundreds running and hiding in terror
Cops found his room and burst inside
To discover he’d committed suicide

Chorus:
Man-da-lay
Was a killing ground today
They will never walk away
From Mandalay Bay

Now liberals cry for more stringent rules
To protect us at night clubs, concerts and schools
But if Sandy Hook couldn’t bring about reason
Then nothing will save us from open gun season
