about

No more gun violence in America!

lyrics

Johnny, you never said goodbye. You never turned off the lights.
You made your poor family cry.
But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change your mind.

Johnny, you never said goodbye. You said goodnight.
You made this whole country sigh...
But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change our minds.

Well, you can stand there in the doorway with nothing to say,
or you can turn around in circles like the CIA
Eating jelly donuts at the scene of the crime.
Drinking tap water with the FBI
Imagine the motives, question the scene.
Trying real hard to keep this country clean
And I know that I’ve got better things to worry about.

Johnny, you never said goodbye. You never turned off the light.
And it haunts us in our sleep at night.
But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change your mind.

Well, they say that murder one, is a capital crime,
But you can’t punish anyone that you can’t find.
You blame it on the TV, the music and teens,
Like there’s violence and hatred in a young boy's dream.
Where did it come from? Where do we go?
This whole situation’s gotten out of control.
And I know that I’ve got better things in my life to worry about.

Johnny, you never said goodbye. You said goodnight.
You made your poor family cry.
But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change your mind.

Johnny, you never said goodbye. You never turned off the lights.
You made this whole country sigh...
