歌詞
[Verse 1]
Oh, the news is such a bad scene
Well, the news is such a bad scene
Oh, police have killed a boy, and he was only seventeen
[Verse 2]
Now his mother's on the news
Oh, she's crying on the evening news
And his family's in the churches, and they're praying in the pews, in the pews
[Chorus]
Well, he was only
He was only a child
Well, he was only
He was only seventeen
[Refrain]
Well said, you can't stand, can't stand to see no more
Or to believe your eyes
But it happens, yes, it happens all the time
[Verse 3]
Now they call that boy a thug
Dare to call that boy a thug
They're gonna try to take his death and sweep it underneath the rug
[Chorus]
Well, he was only
He was only a child
Oh, he was only
He was only seventeen
[Verse 4]
Well, it is time, it is time
To turn the tide
Oh, it is time, it is time
To turn the tide
[Refrain]
Well said, you can't stand, can't stand to see no more
Or to believe your eyes
But it happens, yes, it happens all the time
[Bridge]
The thunder of the call for peace
Coming from the ones in power
While there's a young boy lying dead with a bullet in his head
They call for peace
While there are children in the street with no shoes upon their feet
They call for peace
Peace is a weapon in their hands, keeps them propped up where they stand
So they call for peace
[Outro]
He was only, he was only seventeen
Oh, seventeen
