Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bury a child, accident plea
Give a kid a gun, surprised when they bleed
Playgrounds keep them all in one place
A feeding ground for killers, metallic taste
If that don't make you angry, nothing will
How much more blood must be spilt?
Before you do something?
[PreChorus]
How can you watch, watch from a distance?
How can you turn your back on the children?
Change the channel when it comes on
Claim it’s not your problem
[Chorus]
What’s it gonna take to change your mind?
380 goddamn times?
Whatcha gonna do when the child’s your own?
School bell rings and they don't come home
[Verse 2]
Leaders of the world, but you can’t keep your kids safe
Land of the free but there’s blood on the school gate
Shoot before drink and you can't see the issue
This is what you’ve grown used to
Oh, can you see? Watch as they bleed out
[Verse 3]
Does a child not have the right
To grow up, to be young, to turn 21?
Does a child not have the right
To feel safe in the world, in the school yard?
Does a child not have the right
To an education to have dreams, to make memories?
Does a child not have the right
To see tomorrow, to run free, to let go?
[PreChorus]
How can you watch, watch from a distance?
How can you turn your back on the children?
Change the channel when it comes on
Claim it’s not your problem
[Chorus]
What’s it gonna take to change your mind?
380 goddamn times?
Whatcha gonna do when the child’s your own?
The bell rings and they don’t come home
[Verse 4]
Columbine, Parkland, Florida, Santa Fe, Oakland, California, Red Lake
What’s it gonna take?
Columbine, Parkland, Florida, Santa Fe, Oakland, California, Red Lake
Say their names
Columbine, Parkland, Florida, Santa Fe, Oakland, California, Red Lake
What’s it gonna take?
[Chorus]
What’s it gonna take to change your mind?
380 goddamn times?
Whatcha gonna do when the child’s your own?
School bell rings and they don't come home
