In a mad man's world, happens every day I don't understand why the rules can't change I don't wanna be a moment of silence I don't wanna be an early grave When I'm walking through the halls I don't wanna be brave, I just wanna be safe We were just looking for a good time Now it's goodbyes for no reason Every day gun season, breathing was uneven People down on knees and everything was a blur Can't tell you where he was, but I remember where we were Look, lately, we can't even have our past-time We leave our homes and wonder if it'll be our last time If I die before I wake, please forgive all my mistakes Know that I was gonna stand for something, something, something I've got so much life to live, and I've got so much love to give Please don't take it all for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing In a mad man's world, happens every day I don't understand why the rules can't change I don't wanna be a moment of silence I don't wanna be an early grave When I'm walking through the halls I don't wanna be brave, I just wanna be safe Yeah, politicians only slight work
Tell me, what is my life worth? Mamas look at babies sayin' bye while they in diapers Used to be afraid of snipers, Boogie Man, Pied Piper Now we in the street, afraid of rifles They end up in the wrong hands Say we shouldn't ban all Does the right to bear arms trump the right to stand tall? 'Cause the money green as foliage in cemeteries People up in power cool with laws remaining sedentary Think I've had enough of it, done just putting up with it We gotta make a difference, we won't let 'em take another kid I'm done with it If I die before I wake, please forgive all my mistakes Know that I was gonna stand for something, something, something I've got so much life to live, and I've got so much love to give Please don't take it all for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing In a mad man's world, happens every day I don't understand why the rules can't change I don't wanna be a moment of silence I don't wanna be an early grave When I'm walking through the halls I don't wanna be brave, I just wanna be safe
