Don't try to make sense of it

You’ll end up losing your mind

Every day in a war zone

Bullets flying right by

You hear the shots when you least expect it

You hear the shots when you least expect it

Don't try to make sense of it

You'll end up losing your mind

Every day in a war zone

Bullets flying right by

You hear the shots when you least expect it

I hear the shots

I put my family in the basement

And I don’t know how I made it out

Even now I'm diving back in to help

But I'm not making a dent

Another life shot dead in the streets

How can I look them in the eye and lie and tell them

That it's all right

I can't
