The Cult of the Gun

The cult of the gun
the lie to own
for fear of our neighbors
our fellow man

The cult of the gun
the lie of self-sufficiency
fearing our neighbors
the false boogey man

The cult of the gun
separating our nation
letting hate rule us
gripping our land

The cult of the gun
not trusting authority
more carnage, killing
for cult of the gun
