Situation

It isn’t a guns situation

It isn’t a trigger affair

The blood on the floor

Isn’t regular gore

The bullet-holes weren’t really there

 

It isn’t a guns situation

The rifleman, not very nice

Might have played with his kit

In a manner unfit

But a gunman he wasn’t, no dice

 

This isn’t a guns situation

He may have had military style

But he must have been firing

With poor mental wiring

And the gunsmiths need never stand trial

 

This isn’t a guns situation

A gun in the right hands is great

It can murder at will

It can shatter and kill

But this hasn’t happened of late

 

It isn’t a guns situation

And the aisles were not filled with the dead

And I’m not a dork

Made of jackass and pork

With a pumpkin instead of a head
