Here are the verses:
"Sometimes I don't know what this world has come to
It's blowing up
This whole country is going nuts
And the NRA
Is in our way
They're responsible for this whole production
They hold the strings, they control the puppet
And they threaten to take away donor bucks
So they know the government won't do nothing
And one's budging
Gun owners clutching
Their loaded weapons
They love their guns more than our children."
He then launched into a performance of "Nowhere Fast" from his latest album.
