Automatic weapons were meant for the war But here they are right outside your front door Gangs and thieves are armed to the hilt Ready to kill without the quilt Lock and load We need gun control (2) A shot rings out from down the street The gangs are restless from the night heat The cold, black metal has made them insane Killing each other is part of the game Lock and load We need gun control (2) The barrel of a gun at the back of your head Your money or your life is all that he said Do you want to die or live to be old Don't think twice about gun control Lock and load We need gun control (2) We were given the right to bear arms When our land was all ranch and farms The law is old and in need of updating There's no time time for hesitating Lock and load We need gun control (2)
