Put down the gun. (13x) 

Put it down. 
"SHUT UP!" he said 
"Let me speak for a minute! 
Or two or three. Now you're gonna stop [bad word] me!" 
So watcha gonna do 'cause looking at a space shows a life revealing years of pain 
So we'll drop down, let go, Ooh we'll get you set so... 

Boys with shiny violent killing toys 
It's all a bit to real now noise 
The cycle will continue boys 

Put down the gun. (13x) 

Put it down (3x) 
SHUT UP! 
It's my turn 
To be heard 

The voices are all that occur to him. 
And now he's blaming everyone, 'cause he's always been a victim. 
[He's] filled with rage. 
Heart beatin' so fast, don't set him off 
I tried to make a move 
But the little one said, 
"SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YA" 

Put it down (3x) 
"SHUT UP OR I'LL KILL YA" 
Put it down (5x) 

Boys with shiny violent killing toys 
It's all a bit to real now noise 
The cycle will continue boys 
'Cause we can't all be heroes 
Boys with shiny violent killing toys 
It's all a bit to real now noise 
The cycle will continue boys 
'Cause we can't all be heroes

Put it down (3x) 

Scatter gun! 
It's a war game naming enemies and allies 
Scatter gun 
Push to hard, to fast totally off side 
It's scatter gun 
Big gun in the hands of a greedy man 
Gotta gun 
Take a hit, take a shot just to take a stand
