lyrics

THEY ASK WHY

“Thoughts and prayers to yours and theirs.”
Cry the adults that surround me.
How about my thoughts?
They’re filled with shots
And these bloodstains all around me.

He shot my friends, and now they’re dead.
But mommy don’t you worry.
This kind of subject’s taught in school.
It’s a lesson we learn early.
I’ve practiced so many times before
How to hide and how to run.
Oh mommy, don’t be sad today.
It’s just a big boy and his gun.

You say it’s not normal.
I don’t believe it.
We’ve asked for help,
But don’t receive it.
What do you mean
You can’t conceive it?
We hate it too but it’s all we know.

Mommy asks why.
She doesn’t know.
Daddy asks why.
He hates any control.
Society asks why.
But can’t they vote?
The president asks why.
Is this a joke?
We want to live!

Parents ask why.
Society asks why.
The government asks why.
When they don’t act we die.
But hey, they don’t know.
