A song about Gun and Knife Culture
|
I read a story about an eight year old boy shooting a ten year old girl because she had a Scottish accent and I wondered how far this has to go before we tackle the real problems behind misguided chuildren of today.

The Nursery Rhyme
GONE THE DAYS OF CHILDRENS GAMES WHEN OUR STREETS WERE SAFE AND FREE
GONE THE DAYS OF INNOCENCE I’M SURE YOU WILL AGREE
KIDS DON’T PLAY AT HIDE AND SEEK OR CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
THEY’D RATHER BEAT UP STRANGERS WITH A WEAPON IN THEIR HAND
Chorus
SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE A POCKET FULL OF RYE
JACK AND JILL CAME DOWN THE HILL ON GRASS THAT MADE THEM HIGH
NO-ONES MAKING ANY SENSE OF ANYTHING AT ALL
WITH THEIR GUNS AND KNIVES AND BASEBALL BATS WE’RE HEADIN FOR A FALL
ANOTHER LIFE IS TAKEN BEFORE OUR VERY EYES
THE THUGS WITH KNIVES AND GUNS ARE HERE TO TERRORISE
NO ASPIRATIONS OR RESPECT FROM THIS MODERN TRIBAL YOUTH
NO FUTURE FOR THEM EITHER AND THAT’S THE HONEST TRUTH
LIFE USED TO BE A NURSERY RHYME WHEN EVERYBODY KNEW
WHEN RIGHT WAS RIGHT AND WRONG WAS WRONG
BUT TODAY THAT’S JUST NOT TRUE
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN EVERYONE GREW UP TO HAVE RESPECT
NO MORE MY FRIEND NO MORE NO MORE I DON’T EXPECT
