Eighteen people dead in Lewiston, Maine, another mass killing in the “States”
Once again the topic is stirring up a lot of debates
They are going through this cycle like so many before
This is the 565th incident this year if you are keeping score
The average is 1.92 mass murders a day and we still have two months to go
This just means the death toll will continue to grow
It seems so crazy to me that this doesn’t sound some alarms
Thanks to their 2nd Amendment “The right to bear arms”
This will be in the news each and every day
Just like so many times before, this too will fade away
“Democrats” want gun control, “Republicans” totally oppose
I guess this is the way “America” runs I suppose
The “NRA” is a big donator to many “Republican” campaigns
That’s why “Democrats” have been thwarted time and time again
You don’t bite the hand that feeds you, so “Republicans” will stay true
That’s why any kind of amendments will never get through
They kill them in the schoolyards, they kill them in the streets
This is just a viscous cycle that continues to repeat
They won’t ban automatic rifles because “Americans” love their guns
So murderers pull the trigger and then go on their run
I don’t think they go into this expecting to survive
The majority of these killers don’t make it out alive
They commit suicide or get gunned down by a cop
Still despite all of this, these occurrences never seem to stop
Being a mass murderer, you get all the news
You don’t make the headlines if you only kill one or two
Say you take another life, well that only makes three
Your name still won’t be out there for everyone to see
Four or more murders will get you in the books
Anything less than that, they won’t take a second look
So I don’t expect anything to change after the upcoming election
Unless a mass murderer attends the next “Republican” convention
