Arthur Simms - Guns & People

 

That night I waited too long
For someone who wouldn't come
Who would've made it home to me
I went for a walk in the street

Empty eyes and shady faces ( shady faces )
People hustling and people wandering ( people wandering )
And I just found that in their places
The streets were not that frightening, no

Guns don't kill people
People kill people
I said
Guns don't kill people
People kill people
I said

I left it all, went to the mall
That led me to a noisy cafe
And there she was, between two cups
Sweet and amazing and lofty

Just one glance and love, it hit me ( one love hit me )
Felt like being in a movie ( in a movie, yeah )
Was she the one I was waiting for?
A beauty, a blue-eyed killer, yeah

This cruel world is such a mess
I went back home to my loneliness
It was too late, it was too late
To go to sleep
I think I might be tired
And I try, I try to sing
All I remember is that line

Guns don't kill people
People kill people
I said guns don't kill people
People kill people
I said guns don't kill people
People kill people
I said guns don't kill people
It's people who kill people
I said

People kill people
