lyrics

"SHOOT 'EM DOWN" by David Guilbault

In the dark of night, a madman tries his skills.
Checks the rifle’s sight. Sees the children he will kill.
In the dark of night, he loads a thousand rounds.
And in the morning light, he’s headed into town.

He shoots ‘em – down. He shoots ‘em – down.

In the dark of night, we mourn with thoughts and prayers.
We choose our sides, and lay our passions bare.
When all is said and done, we don’t see eye to eye.
When it comes to laws and guns, we keep lettin’ people die.

We shoot ‘em – down. We shoot ‘em – down.

In the dark of night, the bullets strike their prey.
And in the morning light, we wish it would go away.
In the dark of night, the dancers die from guns.
And when we see the light, we know nothing will be done.

He shoots ‘em – down. He shoots ‘em – down.

In the dark of night, there are zealots armed with guns.
They declare a right, they say never can be undone.
Politicians are bought. Common sense is voted down.
We can talk and talk, and the dead drop round by round.

We shoot ‘em – down. We shoot ‘em – down.
