Story Behind The Song

I WROTE THIS SONG WHEN I WAS ASKED TO SING AT A GUN CONTROL AND POLICE BUY BACK IN MILWAUKEE

Song Description

THIS IS A SONG ABOUT WHY WE SHOULD NOT LET GUNS BE GIVEN SO FREELY AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE TURNED IN.

Lyrics

DON?T SHOOT IT
WORDS & MUSIC BY TOM ZOVAR  2003 ASCAP 1657084


THE GUNS ARE FLOWING FREELY
AND THERES PEOPLE GETTING SHOT
A DRIVE-BY IN THE HOOD, NOW
AND A COUPLE WITH A COP

THE DANGER AND THE FEAR BEGAN
WHEN PEOPLE CARRY GUNS
THEY LIVE IN FEAR, CREATE THE FEAR
AND THE KIDS ARE ON THE RUN

CHORUS: DON?T SHOOT IT STOP THE SHOOTING
LET?S TURN VIOLENCE INTO FUN
WE CAN?T WHEN WE?RE IN FEAR
OF PEOPLE CARRYING GUNS

WELL GUNS WERE MADE TO PROTECT YOU
THIS ARGUMENT IS TRUE
BUT WHO ARE YOU PROTECTING
WHEN YOU?RE MIND IS SNORT?N BREW

YOU SAY GUNS ARE FOR ANIMALS
TO HUNT AND SPORT AT WILL
BUT THAT POWER INSIDE, SOMEBODY DOES YOU WRONG
AND THEIR BODY YOU WILL KILL

CHORUS:

THIS CITY WANTS TO BE PEACEFUL
IN IT?S STREETS WITHOUT A GANG
AND PEOPLE WILL RUN INSIDE AND HIDE
WHEN THEY HEAR THAT AWFUL BANG

NOW PEACE BREEDS PEACE MY FRIEND
AND FEAR BREEDS FEAR
AND PEACE TURNS TO FEAR FOR EVERYONE HERE
WHEN GUNS ARE NEAR

CHORUS:

GIVE UP YOUR GUNS AND WEAPONS
AND TURN TO TRUTH AGAIN
GIVE UP YOUR GUNS FOR HEAVEN SAKE
AND FORGET THIS LIFE OF SIN

CHORUS:
