Against guns
jonny brought a gun to school,
he told his friends that it was cool,
+ when he pulled the trigger back,
it shot with a great crack.
mommy, i was a good girl, i did what i was told,
i went to school, i got straight a's, i even got the gold!
but mommy, when i went to school that day, i never said goodbye,
im sorry mommy, i had to go, but mommy, please dont cry.
when jonny shot the gun, he hit me + another,
+ all because jonny, got the gun from his older brother.
mommy, please tell daddy, that i love him very much,
+ please tell chris, my boyfriend, that it wasnt just a rush
+ tell my little sister, that she is the only now,
+ tell my dear sweet grandmother, ill be waiting for her now
+ tell my wonderful friends, that they always were the best
mommy, im not the first, im not better than the rest,
mommy, tell my teachers, i wont show up for class,
+ never to forget this, + please dont let this pass
mommeny, whyd it have to be me? noone deserves this,
mommy, warn the others, mommy, i left without a kiss
+ mommy, tell the doctors, i know they really did try,
+ i think i even saw a doctor, trying not to cry mommy, im slowly dying, with a bullet in my chest,
but mommy, please remember, im in heaven with the rest.
mommy, i ran as fast as i could, when i heard that crack,
mommy, listen to me if you would, im not coming back
i wanted to go to college, i wanted to try things that were new
i guess im not going with daddy, on that trip to the new zoo
i wanted to get married, i wanted to have a kid,
i wanted to be an actress, mommy, i wanted to live
but mommy, i must go now, the time is getting late,
mommy tell my boyfriend, im sorry, but i had to cancel the date.
