Well it seems every week

there’s another one on the TV

you change the channel, say

it’s never happen to me

but just you wait and see

‘Cause you can’t stop the kids from hearing that kind of blasting

Echoing down the hallway

like a bell 

ringing out in hell

 

Mmm

Heys x2

 

When they ran out of Stoneman, ooh I was shaken

Well they were locking it down

and you could still hear the sound 

of bodies hitting the ground

And all we ever see are the old folks

doing nothing

You can shove it where

the sun don’t shine

with your thoughts and prayers

who fucking cares 

 

Well you know we got something to say

so we’re gonna say it. 

Yeah they know just what to do

but you keep putting them

in the back of the room

They’re just another bunch 

of loud mouth kids and that’s the truth

when they get a little older and wiser

gonna get rid of you

 

Heys x2

 

It’s just same old same old

up there in Tallahassee 

a chorus of cowards and they keep voting no

yeah they were bought and they were sold out

I tried not to cry out 

up there in the gallery

Is your AR 15 worth more than my life

how do you sleep at night?

 

Well you know we got something to say

so we’re gonna say it. 

Yeah they know just what to do

but you keep putting them

in the back of the room

they’re just another bunch 

of loud mouth kids and that’s the truth

when they get a little older and wiser

gonna get rid of you

 

(Instrumental Break)

 

BRIDGE 

Oooh is it ever enough?

Oooh how do you not get numb?

We’ve already had this conversation

and nothing gets done to stop it

 

It was the last day of February

They went back to Stoneman

They let ‘em play Nintendo right there in Chemistry

But everybody could still see

the bullet holes above that poster of Abraham Lincoln

and the seventeen funeral flowers still so green 

What does it all mean?

 

Mmm
