V1
Jonny thinks Love is a forty-five
He was spawned in an urban jungle firing line
He`s seen a thousand murders by the age of nine
He’s a child and he just wants to play
So he runs wild and then he gets his way
He lives in a world of homicidal views
where life`s cheap and nobody buys good news
And the Eye in the Sky just watching standin by to bring it live to you

CHORUS
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, inhumane, what have we done?

V2
They say maybe he was all so spacy
Or maybe he was once a battered baby
He gets caught up in the latest craze
And does what`s normal for a boy with a rage
Jonny takes his M16 to school today
And some are paid to say he’s mad
cause we`re afraid to say that he`s just plain bad
Cause Jonny’s got his rights to justice and all that

CHORUS
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, inhumane, what have we done?

BRIDGE
He`s swept the nation as the number one crime
the new sensation now he`s gone Prime Time
A sequels in the makin, yeah, they want to boost the ratings with some genocide

V3
And some say that he was Born to Kill
neither nurture nor nature, it’s just for the thrill
The Jurys out. no verdict found, but we`re searching still
As the Shrinks n Learned minds debate the situation
The victims rights all got lost somewhere in the translation
While the Kids were online getting Thrill Kill educations
All we see is dollar signs, not a gun infatuation
And the Thin Blue Lines caving in

CHORUS
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, inhumane, what have we done?


OUTRO
You do the crime, you gotta pay a price
Some say that it`s a life for a life
But Jonny’s just a babe
still in the seventh grade
is he too young to die?
Are we so sure we didn`t help to make him?
Like some Frankenstein creation
Inside we know, we`re not much more than cavemen
Still searchin answers for our own life`s questions
Where`s the perfect man with a suggestion?







Unedited lyrics

Jonny`s a child, and he just wants to play, so he runs wild, but that`s Okay
Cause Jonnys got his rights, cause Jonnys 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
Jonnys gonna take his M16 to school today

CHORUS
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, inhumane, what have we done?

He`s seen a thousand murders by the age of nine, he thinks Love is a forty-five
He was spawned in an urban jungle firing line
He lives in a world of homicidal views, where life`s cheap, and no one buys good news
And that Eye in the Sky, is just standin by, to bring it live to you

CHORUS
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, inhumane, 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 how to save this page
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` just plain bad
We try to shift the blame, say it was all a game, and now he`s oh so sad
And some say, that he was Born to Kill, neither nurture nor nature, did it for the thrill
The Jurys out, no verdict was found, but we`re searching still


CHORUS
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 its favourite crime, the new sensation, now he`s gone Prime Time
A sequals in the makin, they want to boost the ratings, with some genocide
And all the worlds heart-broken, we cry our tears in token
Want all the facts, to keep our small talk flowin
As the Shrinks n Learned minds, debate the situation, the victims rights get lost in translation
While the Kids are online, getting Thrill Kill Junior Highschool educations
All we sees $Signs,not a gun infatuation, the streets are on fire, tryin to stall the Hun invasion
And the Thin Blue Lines, lookin like it`s just about to cave in

CHORUS
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?



You do the crime, you gotta pay a price, some say that it`s a life for a life
But Jonnys just a babe, still in the seventh grade, is he too young to die?
So do we chain him, throw the key away, and try to tame him?
Are we so sure we didn`t help to make him?
Like some Frankenstein creation, incubated by us new age spacemen
Inside we know, we`re not much more than cavemen
Still searchin answers, to life`s questions
Where`s the perfect man with a suggestion?

CHORUS
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?
