Automatic weapons were meant for the war

But here they are right outside your front door

Gangs and thieves are armed to the hilt

Ready to kill without the quilt

Lock and load

We need gun control [2]

A shot rings out from down the street

The gangs are restless from the night heat

The cold, black metal has made them insane

Killing each other is part of the game

Lock and load

We need gun control [2]

The barrel of a gun at the back of your head

Your money or your life is all that he said

Do you want to die or live to be old

Don't think twice about gun control

Lock and load

We need gun control [2]

We were given the right to bear arms

When our land was all ranch and farms

The law is old and in need of updating

There's no time time for hesitating

Lock and load

We need gun control [2]
