Checking out the mail box on a quiet afternoon

Walked into the big guns of security

I laughed I said 'Don't shoot' and this was his reply

'I only shoot at robbers and I use my gun for peace'

They don't care, they don't care

Whoever pulls the trigger the guns don't care

They don't care, they don't care

Whoever pulls the trigger the guns don't care

Created with precision and ingenuity

Some inventor's brainchild to be used with skill

And the light gleams on the metal as the marksmen take their aim

And you know their only purpose is to kill

* Repeat chorus *

Now whether you're the good guy or the bad guy in the script

And if you wear the black hat or the white

Whatever your motive as the bullets start to fly

When you pull the trigger someone dies

* Repeat chorus *

From the battle-scarred of Bosnia to the innocents of Dunblane

Wherever unsuspecting victims fall

As the tears of the loved ones water the graves

You know it was the guns that did it all

* Repeat chorus *

I use my gun for peace, I use my gun for peace

Can you use a gun for peace?
