Loaded Gun

from C P R by Mychael John Thomas

/

about

This song was originally written in 1994 during Bill Clinton's presidency and around the time of the Waco tragedy. I changed the lyrics to give it a broader universal message, which I think is more relevent to our current world political situation...

lyrics

LOADED GUN

Child of sorrow child of woe
Your world has tossed you to and fro
Your violence is all you know
How far will you have to go?
All you wanted was to be loved by someone
But you let the Devil hand you a loaded gun…Hey

Hate filled citizens…Angry mobs
Scream of justice but all they’ve got
Lost innocents in chaos
Street fighting that will never stop
True justice only comes from God’s own Son
But you let the Devil hand you a loaded gun

BRIDGE
Well the Devil has no power
If we refuse to play his game
We can stand till the final hour
In Jesus’ Holy name

Governmental policies lost in sin
Preaching war to every foe and friend
Power breeds corruption…While truth you spin
Still you lie to us until the end
All your judgment should be coming from God above
But you let the Devil hand you a loaded gun

Yea…Don’t pull the trigger
Loaded gun…You’re time is coming
Shhhhhhh
