My Neighbor Wants a Gun

from Long Shadows by Englewood

/

lyrics

My neighbor wants a wall,
God only knows how tall,
To keep out those who don’t look like him… at all.

My neighbor wants a gun.
He seems to fear someone
Who doesn’t look much like him… or his son.

My neighbor wants to close the road
To anyone he doesn’t know
And if he doesn’t like you, well, then…. You should go.

Keep your insecure paranoia out of my space!
Keep your immature posturing out of my face!

I said keep your insecure paranoia out of my space!
I said keep your immature posturing out of my face!

But my neighborhood holds quite a range
Of people. We grow strong with change,
Weaving in new strands, new friends… No longer strangers.

So when the Deluge comes
We all could act as one
And lend our strengths to help ourselves until… help comes.

But my neighbor… wants… a gun…
