    Story Behind the Song
    Tired of the easy call to just get rid of the guns? Get real. The issue is more complex than that and adults need to, perhaps, start acting more like grown-ups, and realizing that kids are kids. And we need to examine some of the contradictions we allow in our societies.

    Lyrics
    The Gun -
    copyright 2000 Vince Schiela

    Where did they get such an idea?
    Where did they get the car?
    More than anything under the sun
    I want to know - where did they get the gun?

    Maybe they found it in that vacant lot
    Where the local pusher ditched it when things got too hot
    Mail-order magazine might have been the charm
    They can't sell you wine, but you can order up a firearm
    Maybe they looked old enough
    Maybe a mistake
    Or maybe they just found it in the old man's case...

    Where did they get such an idea?
    Where did they get the car?
    More than anything under the sun
    I want to know- where did they get the gun?

    Can't drive too fast, can't have a drink
    Have to wear my seatbelt
    Can't smoke in here, I think
    Seems like everybody's looking out for everyone
    Too bad we can't agree on how to keep a kid
    Away from a gun - away from a gun
    Got to keep a kid away from a gun...

    Well they should have gotten away -
    There should have been no harm
    Maybe they got scared when someone sounded the alarm
    Maybe they got bold - they might have rolled the dice
    All that they recall is that the gun was fired twice -

    Now maybe they looked old enough
    That's what the juries say
    Thank goodness, we're safe now,
    Those kids are locked away..

    Where did they get such an idea?
    Where did they get the car?
    More than anything under the sun
    I want to know - where did they get the gun?
    Where did they get the gun?
