the night I turned 25 it was legos on the floor /
it seemed like a safe enough game /
for a man to play with his daughter /
an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window /
and the troops are satisfied that justice had been delivered
that was enough to set the spark of a vision in another /
18 years - 18 year old girl - to see herself a martyr /
to keep up with the cycle /
of an automatic rifle and a bullet through the window /
and the troops were satisfied that justice had been delivered
close your eyes to the suns blinding light /
a three story concrete house and a steady paycheck /
cause open eyes will be /
infected with politics /
and even a smart girl can end up /
with a bomb strapped to her chest
