Free Bullets

Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes

Just a bullet spent while another dies

Mass shootings occur as our flag still waves

More caskets are buried in shallow graves

The right to bear arms is still in our sights

Those ill of mind shouldn't have the same rights

The madder they get more people will die

As long as there's yet free bullets to fly
