about

This is the official version of "Only Here". It will be on the next Dirt Napper album, which will be released on March 15, 2019.

About a year ago, I wrote and posted a demo of this song on Bandcamp. A year later, we still have mass shootings, we still have a lack of sensible gun laws, and the terrorist organization known as The National Rifle Association is still spreading falsehoods, lies, and buying spineless politicians. We are making gains however, and thanks to organizations like www.everytown.org and www.sandyhookpromise.org, we are slowly chipping away at their wretched existence.

This is war, and this song is a battle cry.

Any money raised through downloads of this single will be donated to those two organizations-They deserve your support, commitment, and involvement to battle this terrorist organization and to put sensible, reasonable gun laws in place across the United States.

Together we can stop the organized crime of the fucking NRA.

Frank Migliorell.

lyrics

ONLY HERE-music & lyrics by frank migliorelli
Performed by Frank Migliorelli & The Dirt Nappers

Only here we seem immune to gunshots in the hall
Children huddled down in fear-blood splattered on the wall
Only here we pile backpacks in a high school parking lot
While the cries and screams still ringing through the echoes of the shots
Only here- why- only here?

Only here we turn a blind eye- time and time again
Can’t answer that one question- When’s it ever gonna end
Only here- why- only here?
We only tear down all the places where children learn and play
But the thing we should destroy is the fcking NRA
The lies & the falsehoods, the politicians that they buy-
Thoughts and prayers don’t matter, too many people’ve died.
Only here- why-only here?

We shouldn’t need armed protection where people kneel and pray
But the thing we should destroy is the fcking NRA
The lies & the falsehoods, the politicians that they buy-
Thoughts and prayers don’t matter, too many people’ve died.
Only here- why-only here?

Every life cut down is this county’s bloody stain
Twisted laws and bottom lines and guns for the insane
Only here we seem immune to gunshots in the hall
Children hiding out in fear-their blood splattered on the wall

Only here- why-only here?
America, America, this is our greatest shame
So many lives have been cut short- With endless waves of pain
Only here- Why only here?
