If It Were Up to Me
\n<\/strong>Words and Lyrics by:
\nCheryl Wheeler<\/em><\/p>\n

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