Protect the Gun?

Guns, they say, protect you
But have you noticed how
You protect them
You think they're the cat's meow

You protect the tool of  death
When you say, Don't ban the gun
And the masses  of man
Can only run, run, run

Yes, you protect the tool of death
From suffering its own death
And you endanger a list of humans
From George to Nancy Beth

Protect the gun? I refuse
Too many people have died
So, if you want to protect the gun
Well, that's just cockeyed
