i know what you think in the morning
when the sun shines on the ground
and shows what you have done

it shows where your mind has gone
and you swear to your parents
that it will never happen again

i know, i know, what that means, i know
that you all have guns
and you never put the safety on

and you all have plans
to take it, to take it
don't take it, take it, take it

i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
but i can't, but i can't

when you all have guns for hands, yeah
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep

but i can't, but i can't
when you all have guns for hands, yeah
let's take this a second at a time

let's take this one song, this one rhyme
together, let's breathe
together, to the beat

but there's hope out the window
so that's where we'll go
let's go outside and all join hands

but until then you'll never understand
that you all have guns
and you never put the safety on

and you all have plans
to take it, to take it
don't take it, take it, take it

i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
but i can't, but i can't

when you all have guns for hands, yeah
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep

but i can't, but i can't
when you all have guns for hands, yeah
we turned our hands to guns

trade in our thumbs for ammuniton
i must forewarn you
of my disorder, or my condition

cause when the sun sets
it upsets what's left of my invested interest
interested of putting my fingers to my head

the solution is, i see a whole room of these mutant kids
fused at the wrist, i simply tell them they should shoot at this
simply suggest my chest and this confused music

it's obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep

but i can't, but i can't
when you all have guns for hands, yeah
i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep

i'm trying, i'm trying to sleep
but i can't, but i can't
when you all have guns for hands, yeah
