In a rundown store at the edge of town
They sold a gun called Columbine
Called Columbine
It's been a long long time since I held a gun
It's been a long time since the West was won
Since the West was won
But I need protection
From people like me
It becomes an infection
Becomes a disease
It's been a long time since I held a gun
To the head of a man in the name of love
It's been a long time since a bullet flew
From the laws that were passed
By the powers that be
It's the same old store where they proudly sold
The gun that shot John Lennon down
Shot Lennon down
