Lyrics
WHEN WILL IT END
A hate filled madman opens fire
Blood and death his dark desire
A lot of people die
The whole country - it grieves and cries
And when - the crying's done
They say they really tried
But their hands are tied
The founding fathers said
That everybody has the right to buy
A military - assault gun
How many times till they open their eyes
How many times until they get wise
How many times must I say never again
How many deaths - please tell me when
Columbine 13 - never again
Virginia Tech 32 - never again
Binghamton 14 - never again
Ft Hood 13 - never again
Sandy Hook 27 - never again
Carolina Church 9 - never again
San Bernadino 14 - never again
Pulse nightclub 49 - never again
Vegas festival 58 - never again
Texas Church 26 - never again
Parkland 17 - never again
Texas HS 10 - never again
Pittsburgh synagogue 11 - never again
California bar 12 - never again
How many times till they open their eyes
How many times until they get wise
How many times must I say never again
How many deaths - please tell me when
They say the answer is more good guys with guns
Carry them everyplace and bad guys will run
Movie theaters, bars, churches and schools
It's so elementary why don't you approve
And the guns will protect us from - tyrannical government
How many times must I say never again
How many deaths - please tell me when
How many times must I say never again
How many deaths - please tell me when
Never again
Never again
Never again
When will it end
