If It Were Up To Me
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.
Si Dependerá de Mí
Quizás sean las películas, quizás sean los libros
Quizás sean las balas, quizás sean los verdaderos criminales
Quizás sean las drogas, quizás sean los padres
Quizás sean los colores que todos llevan puestos
Quizás sea el Presidente, quizás sea el último
Quizás sea el anterior, lo que hizo
Quizás sean las escuelas secundarias, quizás sean los maestros
Quizás sean los niños tatuados en las gradas
Quizás sea la Biblia, quizás sea la falta
Quizás sea la música, quizás sea el crack
Quizás sean los peinados, quizás sea la televisión
Quizás sean los cigarrillos, quizás sea la familia
Quizás sea la comida rápida, quizás sean las noticias
Quizás sea el divorcio, quizás sea el abuso
Quizás sean los abogados, quizás sean las prisiones
Quizás sean los Senadores, quizás sea el sistema
Quizás sean los padres, quizás sean los hijos
Quizás sean las hermanas, quizás sean las madres
Quizás sea la radio, quizás sea la furia en la carretera
Quizás El Niño, o los rayos UV
Quizás sea el ejército, quizás sea el alcohol
Quizás sean los periódicos, quizás la milicia
Quizás sean los atletas, quizás sean los anuncios
Quizás sean los aficionados al deporte, quizás sea una moda
Quizás sean las revistas, quizás sea internet
Quizás sea la lotería, quizás sean los inmigrantes
Quizás sean los impuestos, las grandes empresas
Quizás sea el KKK y los skinheads
Quizás sean los comunistas, quizás sean los católicos
Quizás sean los hippies, quizás sean los adictos
Quizás sea el arte, quizás sea el sexo
Quizás sean los sin techo, quizás sean los bancos
Quizás sea la deforestación, quizás sea la capa de ozono
Quizás sean los químicos, quizás sean los teléfonos celulares
Quizás sea el fertilizante, quizás sean los piercings en la nariz
Quizás sea el fin, pero sé una cosa
Si dependiera de mí, quitaría las armas.
