My friend John he's a flattop

He's a cop on the eastern side

He's a watchdog sent on a paper bag

  chase where the children's

Guns all hide in the school yard

Cops are angry

Kids are angry

But no one is to blame



Is it loaded?

Does it make you feel OK?



Would you do it?

Is it loaded?

All your strength in a bullet shell

Would you do it?



His girl Jane she's a good one

In the night she'll always pray

That a twelve year old boy

  packing more than his lunch

Ain't the statistical end to her husband's day

Cops are angry

Kids are angry

But no one is to blame



Sunny stands on the corner and plans a surprise

For his wedding day

He got his meal on a brown bag deal

And gets stopped by a cop on his way

The gun barrel size really widens his eyes

As he hopes for a chance to explain

And now the flowers and people

Cry up to the steeple and beg for someone

Won't you please explain?



Is it loaded...?
