Only Here

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?
Chorus

We only tear down all the places where children learn and play
But the thing we should destroy is the fcking NRA


The falsehoods and the lies, 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?
