The Skiffs - Culture of the Gun (feat.Louis Castle)

Tamir Rice was playing
In the park with his pellet gun
His sister watched them shoot him down
At twelve his life is done
Anton Rose lies bleeding
At Larimer and Lemington
At seventeen he will not live
To see the rising sun

Living and dying
In the culture of the gun
Collateral damage
In the culture of the gun

A mother shot while driving
In the back by her baby son
Peyton Benson eating breakfast
A drive by spilled her innocent blood
Trayvon Martin walking home
From the Seven Eleven Store
George Zimmerman
Shot him in the chest
Trayvon walks the earth no more

Living and dying
In the culture of the gun
Collateral damage
In the culture of the gun

John Lennon and Tupac Shakur
Too many songs remained unsung
Kurt Cobain lies unexplained
Slain by his own shotgun
Bobby Jack and Martin
Were taken one by one
Their beautiful souls were silenced
At the hands of a trigger man

Living and dying
In the culture of the gun
Collateral damage
In the culture of the gun

The children are shooting each other
On the streets and in the schools
Fifteen died at Columbine
Twenty-six at Sandyhook
Sterm Reuger Smith and Wesson
Sig Sauer and Remington
The Golden Ring of Freedom
Proudly worn on their bloodstained hands

Living and dying
In the culture of the gun
Collateral damage
In the culture of the gun

The merchants of death
Take profit
On the murder of our
Daughters and sons
Please pray for the souls of the fallen
In the culture of the gun
