It’s Still Gun Control to Me

It’s Still Gun Control to Me

sung to the tune of “It’s
Still Rock and Roll to Me” with apologies to Billy Joel.

There’s nothing wrong with the flak jacket I’m wearing.
Can’t you tell I’m from the United States?
When the NRA stops lobbying government
we’ll return to the age of debates.

The nation’s banned from hanging out lately, honey.
Politicians start caring when they lose a lot of money.

It’s about time they fall in line, reduce crime, grow a spine.
It’s still gun control to me.

There’s nothing wrong with the Hummer I’m driving.
But it should be out of style.

Should I send a set of money wires
so that they can campaign for a while?
Nowadays, all the rage is security.
Balance it with freedoms that will determine our futurity.

It’s about time they fall in line, reduce crime, grow a spine.
It’s still gun control to me.

Oh, it doesn’t matter what they say in their speeches
’cause their kind of talk has always been cheap.
There’s a new issue in town but they can’t win the round
’cause the opponent’s pockets are too deep.
And the short news-cycle appeases the sheep.

How about a pair of bright-line rulings
and life-saving, background-check bills?
They can really be the voters’ hero
if voters know how their nation kills.

Don’t waste your time on a new set of distractions!
They should compromise and take some actions!
It’s about time they fall in line, reduce crime, grow a spine.
It’s still gun control to me.

There’s something wrong with the crowd government’s seeing.
Don’t you know that they’re out of touch?
If you try to vote them out of office,
they’ll use a COVID lockdown as a crutch.

Don’t you know about our government, honey?
All you need is power and whole lot of money.

It’s about time they fall in line, reduce crime, grow a spine.
It’s still gun control to me.

Everybody’s talkin’ about Donald Trump, funny
but it’s still gun control to me.
