Well, you're a real tough cookie with a gun in your hand
And you're walking down the street like you own this land
You think you're so cool with your power and might
But all you're causing is a terrible fright

People living in fear, can't go out at night
Guns in every corner, it's just not right

Try to avoid getting shot, try to avoid getting shot
We're living in a warzone, is this what we've got?
Try to avoid getting shot, try to not get gunned down
It's time to make a change, and turn this thing around

Every day we hear about another senseless death
Innocent lives taken with one single breath
We're tired of the violence, we're tired of the pain
It's time to stand up, and say this isn't sane

People living in fear, can't go out at night
Guns in every corner, it's just not right

Try to avoid getting shot, try to avoid getting shot
We're living in a warzone, is this what we've got?
Try to avoid getting shot, try to not get gunned down
It's time to make a change, and turn this thing around

We need to come together, and find a better way
To stop the madness, and make a brighter day
It's time to stand up, and make our voices heard
We can't keep living like this, it's just absurd

Try to avoid getting shot, try to avoid getting shot
We're living in a warzone, is this what we've got?
Try to avoid getting shot, try to not get gunned down
It's time to make a change, and turn this thing around

No more lives lost, no more tears shed
It's time to come together, and heal the wounds we've bled
We can make a difference, we can make it right
Let's start today, and end this endless fright.
