Blood Spattered Banner

Lock down, Lockdown Lock the door Shut off the lights And say no more Go behind the desk and hide Wait until it's safe inside Run The blood of our children spilling every day Is the price we pay For fake freedoms for fake rights Easily polluted minds Fund greed while we bleed Why can't you see? Your own insanity For the falsely empowered that lead you blindly away Stay tuned Watch the world as it decays As he waves up to you from a blood spattered banner Do you hold your head with pride? Deny the thieves among the sheep As they bargain with your children's lives Lock down, Lockdown Lock the door Shut off the lights and Say no more Go behind the desk and hide Wait until it's safe inside As he waves up to you from a blood spattered banner Do you hold your head with pride? Or deny the thieves among the sheep As they bargain with your children's lives Why can't you see? Your own insanity Our, unalienable right to life and liberty And the pursuit of happiness Those rights were stripped From college kids In Blacksburg and Santa Barbara High schoolers in Columbine And, and from first graders In New Town First graders And from every family who never imagined That their loved one would be taken From our lives by a bullet from a gun By a bullet from a gun Every time I think about those kids It gets me mad
