Bullets Chambered Rolling down barrels
Mowed down At desks covered in Transformer and Hello Kitty pencils Mowed down Behind the counter of a corner store Mowed down In the living room TV a flicker Mowed down At a traffic stop bathed in blue lights
Everyone packing violence and old glory Red on White and blue
Our thoughts and prayers Raised up Respects paid in full
On the altar of the American gun
Broken dead Are everywhere Tangling on the On the wind Like flags at half mast Splashed in bright paint on grimy bricks Piled among wilted flowers and teddy bears Wet with rain
Unalienable rights Ravenous appetites Arms raised to the sky
Sacrifice Thoughts and prayers Sacrifice Thoughts and prayers Sacrifice
Bullets Chambered Rolling down barrels
