He comes to work or church or school He gets a pass cause he looks like you Then he takes everyone away Leaves us here to pick up the change Find a quiet place for the ones you love There's no escape from the devil with the gun He visits you in your darkest hour Selling suicide disguised as power Tells you freedom has a price You have no choice, you have to buy A man is at the door and there's nowhere left to run You can't ignore the devil with the gun He comes to town bearing thoughts and prayers Sends our children over there They take out all our enemies And leave a hole in the family This is how they become The devils with the guns We have become The devils with the guns
