about

Let's all get some more guns, shall we?

lyrics

Nearly twenty-nine in Columbine.
Thousands more kids shot since then.
Twenty-eight in Sandy Hook.
Those in power say
Seventeen died in Parkland, too
"Lord, let us pray!"

Boy took his gun to church in Charleston.
Lord, let us pray.
Shot nine folks dead, turned tail and run.
Lord, let us pray.
Seven shot dead in Atlanta last week
Lord, let us pray.
Ten more died in Boulder today.
Lord, let us pray.
List is long, it goes on and on.
Lord, let us pray!

Let us pray, let us pray.
On bended knee, let's pray.
Let us pray, let us pray, we bow our heads,
We bow our heads and pray.

Mothers, fathers, daughters and sons
Lord, let us pray.
To all who grieve for lost loved ones,
Lord, let us pray.
"Ma'am, it wasn't the gun that killed your son."
Lord, let us pray.
"Was a crazy man, in Satan's hands!
Lord, let us pray!

Let us pray, let us pray.
For the families of the slain.
Let us pray, let us pray, Oh dear God,
We pray, in Jesus' name.

We believe in our Second Amendment rights.
Lord, let us pray.
We cherish the right to shoot on sight.
Lord, let us pray.
Packin' a gun is the American Way.
Lord, let us pray.
We're not gonna mess with that today.
Lord, let us pray!

Let us pray, let us pray.
Dear God, let us pray.
Pass the hat, but hold some back
For our friends, in the NRA.

More people shot dead, since '68
Lord, let us pray.
Than died in all our wars to date.
Lord, let us pray.
So we bow our heads, fold our hands, close our eyes and say
Lord, let us pray.
"Please God don't let it happen again."
Lord, let us pray!

Let us pray, let us pray.
On bended knee, let's pray.
Guess we love our guns more than our daughters and our sons, so
Come on, now people, everybody, let's pray!
