If It Were Up to Me

   Words and Lyrics by: Cheryl Wheeler

   Maybe it's the movies, maybe it's the books
   Maybe it's the bullets, maybe it's the real crooks
   Maybe it's the drugs, maybe it's the parents
   Maybe it's the colors everybody's wearin
   Maybe it's the President, maybe it's the last one
   Maybe it's the one before that, what he done
   Maybe it's the high schools, maybe it's the teachers
   Maybe it's the tattooed children in the bleachers
   Maybe it's the Bible, maybe it's the lack
   Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the crack
   Maybe it's the hairdos, maybe it's the TV
   Maybe it's the cigarettes, maybe it's the family
   Maybe it's the fast food, maybe it's the news
   Maybe it's divorce, maybe it's abuse
   Maybe it's the lawyers, maybe it's the prisons
   Maybe it's the Senators, maybe it's the system
   Maybe it's the fathers, maybe it's the sons
   Maybe it's the sisters, maybe it's the moms
   Maybe it's the radio, maybe it's road rage
   Maybe El Nino, or UV rays
   Maybe it's the army, maybe it's the liquor
   Maybe it's the papers, maybe the militia
   Maybe it's the athletes, maybe it's the ads
   Maybe it's the sports fans, maybe it's a fad
   Maybe it's the magazines, maybe it's the internet
   Maybe it's the lottery, maybe it's the immigrants
   Maybe it's taxes, big business
   Maybe it's the KKK and the skinheads
   Maybe it's the communists, maybe it's the Catholics
   Maybe it's the hippies, maybe it's the addicts
   Maybe it's the art, maybe it's the sex
   Maybe it's the homeless, maybe it's the banks
   Maybe it's the clearcut, maybe it's the ozone
   Maybe it's the chemicals, maybe it's the car phones
   Maybe it's the fertilizer, maybe it's the nose rings
   Maybe it's the end, but I know one thing.
   If it were up to me, I'd take away the guns.
