America has a gun,                                                                                             

And I'm so incredibly scared,                                         

They point it at the world                   

And try to make us run.   

They try to make us look like cowards,          

Try to make us go back home,                         

Try to make us live in the ways of the past             

Instead of always moving forward


America has a gun,                           

And I don't know what to do.  

I hate the feeling of being utterly useless,    

While we all live in fear and government has its fun.     

They try to make us feel weak,                                            

To feel as though we don't belong,                        

Try to say we're what's wrong with the world              

When justice is all we seek


American has a gun                                                  

And they think they can get away with this.            

They think we won't stand up and fight,                            

That we'll let them squash us with their thumb

They want to oppress us with their power,                                

Make us feel like dirt upon their shoe,                

Make us be persecuted by our own                                       

But like the obelisk over them we will tower


America has a gun

They point is at their own,                                 

At their brothers and sisters at home    

And now the pressure weighs down like a lead tonne.                    

To speak out against obscene policies                                               

And protect out fellow human,                                                          

To "make America great again"                                            

And highlight humans' best qualities


American has a gun                                                

And it makes me righteously angry.        

It fills me with the greatest dread           

That the fascists think they've won.         

They think they have us in their hold,           

Think we will easily submit,                                     

That we'll gracefully accept their bullshit                              

When we will ultimately regain control


America has a gun                        

And they are aiming it at our heads,   

Trying to silence our mouths.                                              

Oh, what have we become?                                         

They claim to be people of God               

But my God does not accept hatred.              

He is everything good in the world                           

And He is not like this lot


America has a gun                                                                             

And his name is Donald John Trump
