The Wild West
Cowboy comics
Children’s matinee
Playing cowboys and Indians
Shooting for our play
Big screen films on cinema
John Wayne rules the world
Get yourself a six-gun
The gun will make you heard
World War Two was over
Then came Vietnam
America the mighty
Lords it in the van
Then came 9/11
America tumbling down
Then Bush and Blair to solve it
Taking Saddam’s crown
Unleashing chaos on the world
Isis Syria
Russia steps up to the plate
World gets crazier
All the while in USA
Mass shootings are the thing
Go get mad and buy a gun
Go and have your fling
Always and everywhere
The little ones will pay
Children in Dunblane
Their memory today
Now today in Tennessee
The bullet reigns supreme
Can you hear the crying?
The endless endless scream
