Guns For Justice
by Chip Nietfeld and Dave Undis

VERSE
A long time ago when our country was new,
When we first flew the red, white, and blue,
We’d only have freedom when a war was won,
And we’d only win it if we picked up our guns.
God bless America. In God we trust.
We used our guns because our cause was just.
We used guns for justice.

CHORUS
Guns for justice. We did what we had to do.
Guns for justice. Our fight was right and true.
We didn’t cut and run. We picked up our guns. We got justice.
Guns for justice.

VERSE
In our own back yard and on foreign shores
We fought when freedom needed fighting for.
We want freedom for everyone.
Sometimes you gotta win it at the point of a gun.
We picked up our guns because we could see
The threat to everyone’s liberty.
We used guns for justice.

CHORUS
We used guns for justice. We used them way back then.
Guns for justice. We’re ready to do it again.
We don’t cut and run. We pick up our guns to get justice.
Guns for justice.

VERSE
In the home of the brave and the land of the free
Evil still threatens our families.
Freedom can work for everyone
But sometimes to get it you gotta pick up a gun.
We know what to do. We’ll do what we must
If they try to take our freedom away from us.
We’ll use guns for justice.

CHORUS
We’ll use guns for justice. That’s how it’s got to be.
Guns for justice. If you want to be free.
When you can’t cut and run, you pick up your guns to get justice.
Guns for justice.

VERSE
We’d much rather have peace than war.
But we know that freedom’s worth fighting for.
We understand how peace is won.
And we understand the point of a gun.
We’ll put up our guns only when we see
That every last person on the earth is free.
We’ll use guns for justice.

CHORUS
We’ll use guns for justice. Freedom is here to stay.
Guns for justice. They won’t take it away.
We won’t duck and run. We’ll pick up our guns to get justice.
Guns for justice.
