Intro: 3 weeks later (Verse 1): There are times, when I don't know what American is Man shoots his mom in the face goes to the school shoots all the little kids Obviously he has a mental disorder, besides the point When his mom walks in a store, and buy a machine gun, like it's a toy With absolutely no restrictions or regulations Rights should not be allowed without education The country needs a change, I think it's about time 1 personality disorder does not equal 27 lives We need to be more careful we can't just hand out weapons And then ma**acres happen, well what were we expecting? And I hate it when people say guns don't k** people, people do But people do use guns to k** people, true? When someone is given one due to their claim that it's their right It means there's no rationale behind why or what type And when we give out tools of destructions we don't know where they go Guns without reason, are the reason of our sorrow (Chorus): Why don't we decide, to open our eyes and look At the shootings of Virginia Tech, Aurora, and Sandy Hook And all the other angels in the sky tonight Lookin' down, hopin' we don't make many mistakes twice All the innocent people ask is to learn from what we've done Move on with a mindstate of discipline with our guns Why don't we decide to open our eyes and look At the shootings of Virginia Tech Aurora and Sandy Hook (Verse 2): Everyone says they need a gun for protection But maybe it's time for this country to do a little introspection If everybody let go off their weapons for just a second Then what would be the point of needing them for protection? And we wouldn't give arms to irresponsible people, see Or of the relation, because in the end that's the same thing We should take these incidents as alarms That people need to EARN the privelege to bear arms There's a trade off between the constitution and the citizen Get rid of the ignorance of guns and in that sense get rid of em If the guy doesn't take his medicine And something is upsetting him The kids get k**ed with their whole lives ahead of em Starting with the machine gun and how easy he's accessing it To those children lost for no reason, I will not be forgettin' ya Before we all get into a senseless debate Think of the families, what a senseless waste Something tells me this is not just about being safe Up with the shootings up with the gun rate (Chorus): (Verse 3): May we not let the spirit of those who had their dreams stolen Drift away in vain, and let America be insane Why is it so important that there are not any rules That way psychopaths can just go and gun down schools?? It's almost as if this has broken, a societal barrier What happened is scary, What it represents is scarier I don't understand why people do things, just because they have the ability I don't feel safe in a country without responsibility Who can we trust, what price must we all pay When 20 rounds of bullets are just a countertop away In a place where everyone's got a right what really can I say? All I do is think of the nightmare December 14 today Believe me I know you'll think I'm crazy when I say this But I felt the energy from across the nation I felt hurt and senselessness but most for them I felt pain And I still keep movin' forward in a hope of us changin' (Chorus 2x):
