This Old Man

Walking through the cementary Raining Water running down the tombstones Like blood running down a face I see eight graves Old men. All died on the same day I get down on my knees And take a look This old man died when a druggo took his stick and hit him on the head This old man died when he got pushed into the pool by a teenager This old man died when he got shot by a young hoodlum This old man died when he got stabbed in the chest by a Grand Theft Auto addict This old man died when he accidentally walked into no mans land on his holiday to Iraq This old man died when he got crushed in a crowd at a new years party This old man died in a house fire when a drunk arsonist lit his house up in flames And this old man, he just collapsed while blowing out the candles on his 100th birthday cake Only one of those men died a natural death Oh how sad it is Oh the futility! This world is becoming a place where people think murder is fun That's why the governments have restrictions on having a gun If peace was a number it would be decreasing to none Gods getting angry. He'll one day end the world. Thats us done
