LYRICS to WHAT DOES THE GUN SAY (includes audio inserts from Loesch and LaPierre)
WHAT DOES THE GUN SAY
Kids say words,
ask for help,
“Gun controls
should happen now.»
Running scared,
school halls,
to escape the savage gun.
Kids say words,
“Could you just
raise the age to twenty-one?»
“’Cause we’re the kids
and you’re adults.»
What does the gun say?
«The NRA has come out already
and they’ve issued a statement
opposing increasing the age
to purchase “long guns”
simply because . . .»
What the gun say?
» . . . a two-year period doesn’t solve psychosis
A two-year period doesn’t solve psychosis,
solve psychosis,
solve psychosis!»
What the gun say?
«Washington Navy Yard,
Garland, Texas
Fort Hood
Charleston
Boston
San Bernardino
Orlando
Parkland
Do you know
what all of these
mass-tragedy incidents involved?»
What the gun say?
«The FBI dropped the ball.»
«The FBI dropped the ball.»
«The FBI dropped the ball.”
What does the gun say?
Magazine,
larger size
multiplies
the one who dies.
Bump stocks give
greater skill,
make it effortless to kill.
The children were
so much alive
but a tiny time ago,
now on the floor.
where there is blood
they are drowning in the
flo — oo — oo — oo — od.
flo — oo — oo — oo — od.
flo — oo — oo — oo — od.
How do we stop the flow of
blo — oo — oo — oo — od.
blo — oo — oo — oo — od.
blo — oo — oo — oo — od.
What does the gun say?
We will not be gaslighted
into thinking that we are responsible
for tragedies that we have
nothing to do with.
What the gun say?
The failure of school security,
the failure of family,
the failure of America’s mental health system,
the failure of the FBI.
What the gun say?
Gun control
wouldn’t have prevented
what happened!
Their goal is to eliminate
the second amendment.
What the gun say?
To stop a bad guy with a gun
it takes a good gun with a gun.
Schools must be
the most hardened targets
in this country!
What does the gun say?
While you hoard your guns
and store your armament,
in case you must protect
against your rights impinged,
what greater tyranny
could there be to battle
than murders of children?
Monsters have less pow’r
when they don’t have a gun.
Why is it so easy
to get their hands on one?
Who made it this way?
I want to know.
I want to know.
I want to know.

What Does the Fox Say — Ylvis
«The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)» has been categorized as an «electronic dance» song, but that description scarcely does it justice. While it is catchy as hell and very danceable there’s quite a bit more to its appeal than being just another elctro-pop hustle. And it does have appeal, having received as of this writing, more than 700 million views on Youtube.
In fact, this production by the Norwegian duo Ylvis, was the top trending video of 2013 on YouTube. «The Fox» peaked at the top of the Norwegian Singles Chart and was hugely successful in the United States, where it peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks, and was, before the US release of «Am I Wrong» by Nico & Vinz, the highest-ranked song by a Norwegian artist on the chart since A-ha’s number-one song «Take on Me» in 1985.
Originally an «anti-hit» produced as a part of the duo’s new season of Norwegian television talk show I kveld med YLVIS (Tonight with Ylvis) and uploaded on YouTube as a teaser, «The Fox», «created to fail»,[9] has ironically and accidentally gone viral, becoming Ylvis’ «breakout» song and drawing international attention to the group. In 2013, Ylvis stated there were no plans to release an album including the song or any sequel to it.
