Lyrics

Jonny's a child and he just wants to play
So he runs wild, but that's OK
Cause Jonny's got his rights, cause Jonny's got a life where justice is a game
Then he gets caught up in the latest craze
And does what's normal for a boy with a rage
Jonny's gonna take his M16 to school today
He's seen a thousand murders by the age of nine
He thinks love is a 45
He was born in an urban jungle firin line
He lives in a world of homicidal views
Where life is cheap and no-one buys good news
And that eye in the sky, is just standing by to bring it live to you

In the games people play with their guns
You take aim and you maim everyone
In the games people play with their guns
It's insane, so humane, what have we done?

And they say maybe, he was all so spacy
Or maybe he was once a battered baby
Where no-one loved him, and they pushed and shoved him
Or maybe all his life just seemed to trouble him
And some are paid to say he must be mad
Cause we're afraid to say he's just plain bad
We try to shift the blame, say it was just a game, and now he's oh so sad
And some say that he was born to kill
How I pray it wasn't for thrill
The jury's out, no verdict was found, but we're searchin still

In the games, people play, with their guns
You take aim, and you maim, everyone,
In the games, people play, with their guns
It's insane, so humane, what have we done?

He's swept the nation as it's favourite crime
The new sensation now he's gone prime time
A sequal's in the making, but they wanna boost the ratings, with some genocide
And all the world's heart broken, we cry our tears in token
Want all the facts to keep our small talk flowin
Oh who can we blame then? not our honoured brave men
Inside we know we're not much more than cavemen
Still searchin answers, to our questions
Oh where's the perfect man with a suggestion?

In the games, people play, with their guns
You take aim, and you maim, everyone
In the games, people play, with their guns
It's insane, so humane, what have we done?
