Lyrics
I Wonder Who
© JD Carroll /Creative Ventures Music / ASCAP
D A
I wonder who is getting shot today?
Bm G
I sure hope it's not me.
D A
I wonder who is gonna crumble today
Bm E7
from all the pain and grief?
G D
I wonder whose Mamas gonna cry today
Bm A G D
when her son doesn't come home
G D
I sure don't want to die today
A
and I know I'm not the only one.
Chorus
G D
There must be some solution
Bm A
We're not all knuckleheads
G D
We have to stop all this killing
Bm A G D
before we all end up dead.
G D
We're all gonna end up dead
D A
I wonder who is gonna hate today
Bm G
enough to take a life
D A
I hope I don't get caught inside
Bm E7
another senseless fight.
G D
I wonder if we can ever get back
Bm A G D
to just getting along.
G D
I wish we could all just take a breath
A
and sing a different song.
Chorus
G D
There must be some solution
Bm A
We're not all knuckleheads
G D
We have to stop all this killing
Bm A G D
before we all end up dead.
G D
We're all gonna end up dead
D A
I'm afraid to go out there now
Bm G
even down to the corner store
D A
I can't stop who will be driving by
Bm E7
shooting wildly out the door
G D
I wish I had myself a safety shield
Bm A G D
or better yet a gun
G D
I sure don't want to die today
A
and I know I'm not the only one.
Chorus
G D
There must be some solution
Bm A
We're not all knuckleheads
G D
We have to stop all this killing
Bm A G D
before we all end up dead.
G D
We're all gonna end up dead
