Lyrics Ryan Amador – Target Practice

Text:

Another one down
Another one down
How many more must we put in the ground?
How many cries before we can silence the sound?

Another one down
Another one down

A mother in pain
Another in pain
How many times, for how many days?
How many lives do we need to put in a list of names?
Before we stop sayin what a shame

Are we playing a game?
Are we playing a game?
Yeah are we shooting targets?
Shooting targets
Are we playing a game?
Are we playing a game?
Yeah are we shooting targets?
Like it’s target practice

A pistol for your pillow
Machine gun for throwing darts
Buy one at the gun show
Or at your local WalMart
Every person wants to feel protected
Everyone wants a head-start
Why’s it so damn easy
To stop a beating heart?

Whether it’s young kids at the arcade
Or grown men at the party
Billboards on the freeway

Or soldiers in the army
Every bullet’s made kill somebody
Every gun is made to fill some need
Every body’s made to grow up free
Not for bleeding out

Are we playing a game?
Are we playing a game?
Yeah are we shooting targets?
Shooting targets
Are we playing a game?
Are we playing a game?
Yeah are we shooting targets?
Like it’s target practice

Put your weapons down
And pour your bullets out
Put your weapons down
And pour your bullets out
Put your weapons down
And pour your bullets out
Put your weapons down
And pour your bullets out

Are we playing a game?
Are we playing a game?
Yeah are we shooting targets?
Shooting targets
Are we playing a game?
Are we playing a game?
Yeah are we shooting targets?
Like it’s target practice
