Johnny was a teacher and to help them understand
he told the little children as he took them by the hand

he held their little hands
He said, "I'm an old man been around for a while

ain't never killed nobody

ain't gonna start now…no need to no how
Known a few gun collectors, some of military mind

my right to bear arms trespassers will find

I'll protect what is mine
I ain't talking about hunting to feed my family

or fighting a war for the land of the free

I'll fight to stay free
Politicians are plenty; like guns there's too many

won't even raise their voices to support gun control

no need for control
They don't even know it, their tongues pull the triggers

would it make any difference were it one of their own

a child of their own
Imagine how scary, making teachers carry

guns into the classroom tell me what have they learned

Where did they learn?
As sure as shooting when the smoke clears away

there'll be blood on their hands for the rest of their days

til the end of their days
You mommies and daddies the questions are clear

you're searching for answers, take a look in your mirror

the answers in there
You want them to grow, become a woman or a man

you got to teach them how to do it without a gun in their hand

no guns in their hands

NO GUNS IN THEIR HANDS
