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?
