One bullet,
one gun, one dead
But we all bleed some
And you know it's such a shame
One life, more tears,
I can't believe that it's going on here
God knows it's such a shame
Take a look at
America, cause it's much too late
Once the horse is run,
you can't go back and shut the gate
If we ever see the day when
all innocence is gone
Tell me what have we become?
One child in the way,
wrong time at the wrong place
And you know it's such a shame
Too young to live in fear
But you ain't got the time
to be a kid around here
Lord knows it's such a shame
You shouldn't have to worry now
When you barely reach 15
You've got enough to cope
with anyway
If we can't protect the young from
themselves it would seem
We're watching as our fu
ture slides away
Why in this crazy new millennium
Do we still have so much to learn?
Tell me why
When it's clear
In the past every scared kid would run
Now he's wrapping his fists round a gun
And somebody dies
One bullet, one gun, one dead,
and we all bleed some
And you know it's such a shame
One life, more tears
I can't believe
that it's going on here
And you know it's such a shame
You know it's such a shame
You know it's such a
shame
you
