lyrics

UNarmed American (solo)

I've got an itchy trigger finger but I only
Kill with kindness
I'm the greatest gunslinger because I see
Through the blindness
My hand is on the handle but you've
Got the tighter grip
I'm aiming at a target that we may never hit
I am unarmed American
There's pictures in my wallet
Of the kids I bring to school
I never need to flaunt it or use it like a tool
Teachers should be teaching
Not reaching for a drawer
Or silently screaming when the devil's at the door
Yes I am unarmed American
You and I we share a high capacity
Yours is on your shoulder and mine's a sensibility
You're clutching a ghost in your hand
Invisible and alarming
Can someone help me understand
How this is disarming
Yes I am unarmed American
