What They Thought They Had Lyrics by Drew Dunbar

2019

[Verse 1]
Peace is won without a gun
Don't wish your harm on anyone
He might be your brother, she’s someone's sister
If you kill her somebody's gonna miss her
They’ll be coming after you and there's nothin you can do but run
For your gun; before somebody shoots another someone
[Verse 2]
Everyone who's mad is sad
They don't have what they thought they had
Holding tight to nothing tryna turn it into something
Waiting for a savior that they're sure is never coming
Drinking down a medicine that turns into a poison in their mouth; takes'm out; they found it out; so they drink more down
[Verse 3]
Peace is won without a gun
Fighting til the fighting's done
Stop your swinging and your slinging; ‘cause the sheriff is dead
Not from a bullet but a blood vessel that burst in his head
That don't mean it’s not our fault we gave him every reason to fear and now we’re here the ringing starting in our ears
