A Double Shot

When bullets fired doubly fly

Passers by will doubly die

Murder mayhem in the town

Two more victims spiral down

One shot one kill or so they say

Full metal jackets twice today

Crimson stains on every round

Two more victims in the ground 

Changes in the law are needed

Congressmen have never heeded

Once we pass it on the floor

Two more victims never more
