I used to think the world was safe There's nothing I would change Now I'm afraid to step outside Or book a holiday The things I'm seeing on the news Wanna turn back time and say 'Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot that gun' We shouldn't feel anxiety To take our kids to school What's with this new society? It's full of evil I know that life can get messed up But there's help out there for you 'Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot that gun' Don't shoot that gun You know you're only gonna kill someone But in your twisted mind you think it's fun To watch us run Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot that gun A human life's worth so much more Than any point you'll make And two wrongs never make it right So stop for heavens sake Cos somewhat controversially I put this in a song So don't be the one, don't be the one (The one who's gonna) Shoot that gun You know you're only gonna kill someone But in your twisted mind you think it's fun To watch us run Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot that gun Don't shoot that gun And we'll see better days Don't shoot that gun Don't take that life away Don't turn & run They'll find you anyway This all could be undone If you don't shoot that gun Shoot that gun You know you're only gonna kill someone But in your twisted mind you think it's fun To watch us run Shoot that gun You know you're only gonna kill someone But in your twisted mind you think it's fun To watch us run Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot that gun Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot that gun Don't shoot that gun, don't shoot
