Bury a child, accident plea Give a kid a gun, surprised when they bleed Playgrounds keep them all in one place A feeding ground for killers, metallic taste If that don't make you angry nothing will How much more blood must be spilt before you do something? Ahhh How can you watch, watch from a distance? How can you turn your back on the children? Change the channel when it comes on Claim it's not your problem What's it gonna take to change your mind? 380 goddamn times? Whatcha gonna do when the child's your own? The bell rings and they don't come home Leaders of the world, but you can't keep your kids safe Land of the free but there's blood on the school gate Can shoot before drink and you can't see the issue This is what you've grown used to Oh say can you see. Watch as they bleed out Does a child not have the right To grow up, to be young, to turn 21? Does a child not have the right To feel safe in the world, in the school yard? Does a child not have the right To an education to have dreams, to make memories? Does a child not have the right To see tomorrow, to run free, to let go? How can you watch, watch from a distance? How can you turn your back on the children? Change the channel when it comes on Claim it's not your problem What's it gonna take to change your mind? 380 goddamn times? Whatcha gonna do when the child's your own? The bell rings and they don't come home Columbine, Parkland, Florida, Santa Fe, Oakland, California, Red Lake What's it gonna take?
