Who Sold The Gun
Amy Ray

Gun gun who sold the gun?

You had to take em all with you

I guess you might have meant to live

But after all the mess you realize

You're just another lonely kid


With a fucked up little endgame

From some video arcade

And a semi-automatic

From the man down the street


There's a candy store in heaven

Selling out of every pleasure

And a higher hall of learning

Filled with kids forever yearning

And a rock show for all ages

Bands a playing rock of ages


Well I guess we made you famous

Cause we're just as fucked up yeah

We got our name on every toe-tag

Of everything that is good


Yeah we got bombs by the busload

In every corner of the world

So many messes we can't clean up

Wars for every boy and girl


There's a candy store in heaven

Selling out of every pleasure

And a higher hall of learning

Filled with kids forever yearning

And a rock show for all ages

Bands a playing rock of ages


Bombs blowing over Baghdad

On the day that you were born

A marketplace of bodies

To share our cemetery songs


Three hundred thousand children

Marching off to wars

Funded by our government

For their dirty warlords


See you're just one in a long line

You're not so lonely after all

And I guess we made you famous

Cause we're just as fucked up yeah
