lyrics

well the guns they are blazing
on Chicago's west side
and the boys they are acting like they
aren't committing crims

people killing people
I will never understand
putting guns in children's hands
does not make you a man
it does not make you a man

bullets flying sideways
like a storm across the sea
killing neighborhood passerby's
that could have been you or me

people killing people
I will never understand
glorifying murderers
does not make you a man
it does not make you a man

well it's hard to trust the police
'cause they're killing unarmed men
and it's hard to trust your neighbors
who may have concealed weapons

people killing people
I will never understand
laws protecting the right to bear
does not make you a man
it does not make you a man

let's take the guns off of the streets
and put them away for good
deadly crimes will sure decrease
and save our neighborhoods

people killing people
I will never understand
put a book in your children's hand
and help your fellow man
we need to help our fellow man
