We're All One Songtext
von Rod MacDonald

It′s not just you who are suffering
It's not just you who are scared
It′s not just because I was wondering
How many would die til you cared
You say it's mental illness
Still you'll sell anyone a gun
It′s not just someone else who was murdered
We′re all one

Somebody told you he was psycho
Somebody told you he was alone
Somebody gave him everything legally
The handguns and weapons he owned
If a semi automatic assault rifle
Is your idea of freedom or fun
Why doesn't everyone just have one
We′re all one


We're all one
We′re all one
We're all one
We′re all one

Every morning the metal detectors
Run their fingers over your clothes
The kids learn to keep their heads down
In walks the man no one knows
Meanwhile the cowards in Congress
Do their sponsor's bidding downtown
And remove all the gun restrictions
We're all one

Imagine if everyone was packing
Imagine if every one stood proud
When the killer came to Arizona
Walked into the center of the crowd
Imagine if everyone fired
How many could fall all at once
How many deaths will it take til he knows
We′re all one


It was Christmas time in Connecticut
When amid all the sorrow and pain
It′s people not guns who kill, you said
As if washing the blood from your hands
And then seizing the moment to profit
You certainly turned on the charm
Arm people in every school, you said
We're all one

It′s not just because we're all suffering
It′s not just because we're all scared
It′s not just because I was wondering
How many will die til you care
Say a prayer for the young ones of this land
Their elders are insane as they come
They care more for their guns than for their children
We're all one
