Lyrics
Enough Is Enough Words & Music by Bruce Garnitz
All alone for the night
Their parents were sure
The boys would be fine
The older son of the two
Thought that it would be fun
To get daddy's gun and play
Laughter turned to cries as his brother closed his eyes
Chorus:
When will it stop when will it end
Enough is Enough
Who will be next
What will it take till we see
Enough is Enough
In and out of the store
Put the bags in the car
I got in and I closed my door.
But Mom got out of the car
She said "I'll be right back"
Saw her smile as she turned away
Shots rang out down the block , Mom just fell on the spot
Chorus:
When will it stop when will it end
It's tearing me up
Who will be next
What will it take till we see
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough
Bridge:
Bullets don't shed tears
A barrel never bleeds
Cold steel feels no pain
It all seems so insane
One night like tonight
On a street where we've been
On a sidewalk we've walked before
A songwriter that we all knew
Stepped out into the light
Never having a chance to fight
A demented mind pulled the trigger five times
Chorus:
When will it stop when will it end
It's tearing me up
Who will be next
What will it take till we scream
Enough is Enough,
Enough is Enough
Enough is Enough
