Put down the gun...
Put it down...

"Shut up!" he said
"Let me speak for a minute
Or two, or three
Now you're gonna stop interrupting me"
So whatcha gonna do, 'cause looking at his face shows a life revealing years of pain
So we'll drop down, let go, only 'cause he said so.

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

Put down the gun...
Put it down...

Shut up
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
Filled with rage
Heart beating so fast, don't set him off
I tried to make a move, but a little voice said
"Shut up, or I'll kill ya"

Put it down...
"Shut up, or I'll kill ya!"
Put it down...

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 down the gun...
Put it down...

Scatter gun

Its a war game making enemies and allies
Scatter gun
Push too hard, too fast, totally off side
Scatter gun
Big gun in the hands of a greedy man
Scatter gun
Take a hit, take a shot, just to take a stand

Put it down...
