This song is being released in support of Everytown for Gun Safety and The Brady Campaign. It's for the victims of gun violence and their families. We don't have to live like this.
lyrics
The lights go down
the air is cool, we glance around
until the actress speaks no one feels safe and sound
now it’s night clubs too, just when we were getting used to it being churches and schools
another venue hate seeped into
If you’re not tired of the news
If you think there’s really nothing we can do
then how can we ever get closer to free?
I’ve got this friend, who no longer walks with his headphones in
cause when a cop says stop, you better stop quick
and he’s turned to his religion, he didn’t know what else to do
a nation turns its back on its murdered black youth
If you’re not tired of the news
If you think there’s really nothing we can do
then how can we ever get closer to free?
if you’re so scared of your fellow man
you always keep a pistol by your right hand
then don’t say that you’re sorry when another kid dies
don’t say that you’re sorry, don’t say that you’re sorry
when another kid dies
So should we lose our lives
so you can have this right?
to keep your tools of rage while the families cry
The tv projects hate, news reporters shocked but they won’t say their names
everyone’s surprised, but nothings changed
If you’re not tired of the news
If you think there’s really nothing we can do
then how can ever get closer to free?
if you’re so scared of your fellow man
you always keep a pistol by your right hand
then don’t say that you’re sorry when another kid dies
don’t say that you’re sorry, don’t say that you’re sorry
when another kid dies
but as for me, I’m turning off the tv
and as for me, i’m taking my screams to the street
and i’ll scream that i’m sorry, i’ll scream that I’m sorry
when another kid dies
i’ll scream that I’m sorry, I’ll scream that I’m sorry
when another kid dies
and as for me, I’m turning off the tv
