|
One bullet, one gun |
|
One dead, but we all bleed son |
|
And you know it's such a shame |
|
One life, more tears |
|
I can't believe that it's going on here |
|
God knows it's such a shame |
|
Take a look at America |
|
'Cause it's much too late |
|
Once the horse has run |
|
You can't go back and shut the gate |
|
If we ever see the day |
|
When all innocence is gone |
|
Tell me, what have we become? |
|
One child in the way |
|
Wrong time at the wrong place |
|
And you know it's such a shame |
|
Too young to live in fear |
|
But you ain't got the time |
|
To be a kid 'round here |
|
Lord knows it's such a shame |
|
You shouldn't have to worry now |
|
When you barely reach fifteen |
|
You got enough to cope with anyway |
|
If we can't protect the young |
|
From themselves it would seem |
|
We're watching as our future slides away |
|
Why in this crazed new millennium |
|
Do we still have so much to learn? |
|
Tell me why |
|
When it's clear in the past every scared kid would run |
|
Now he's wrapping his fist 'round a gun |
|
And somebody dies |
|
One bullet, one gun |
|
One dead and we all bleed son |
|
And you know it's such a shame |
|
One life, more tears |
|
I can't believe that it's going on here |
|
And you know it's such a shame |
|
You know it's such a shame |
