Lyrics

Another day, another school
Another shooter playing cruel
The warning signs were all ignored
Another classroom floor is gore

Empty desks where laughter rang
Mothers' screams that forever hang
While suits debate and profits soar
The death count knocks on every door

Politicians bow for pay
Gun lobby leads, they obey
Children die, they look away
While murder walks, the streets today

How many children have to die?
How many parents have to cry?
How many politicians have to lie?
Before we say goodbye

Thoughts and prayers,
a hollow song
While bloodstains linger
far too long
The NRA feeds the flame
While children die without a name

The drills we ran
to hide from nukes
Now replaced by active shooter truths
Duck and cover, turned to run and hide
From the American nightmare inside

The sirens wail, the screens all flash
Another school turned to ash
The cycle spins, the nation grieves
While those in power
continue to deceive

How many children have to die?
How many parents have to cry?
How many politicians have to lie?
Before we say goodbye

Thoughts and prayers
a hollow song
While bloodstains linger
far too long
The NRA feeds the flame
While children die without a name

Lonely boys with easy guns
Radicalized by hateful tongues
The system failed at every turn
Another institution burns

How many children have to die?
How many parents have to cry?
How many politicians have to lie?
Before we say goodbye
