[Verse 1]

It's hard to name a tragedy

When it keeps repeating

It's hard to name a tragedy

Constantly defeated

[Chorus]

Why can't a child walk down the street?

Slow motion bullets

Another slaughter every week

Slow motion bullets

[Verse 2]

Mothers, fathers

Don't you know the numbers?

Mothers, fathers

Don't you know?

[Verse 3]

Murder speeds out the chamber with fury and vengeance

There's no excuse for it, this senseless violence

That gun is a tragedy, on and on and on

Buy it background check free, on and on and on

[Chorus]

Why can't a child walk down the street?

On and on

Another slaughter every week

Slow motion bullets

[Bridge]

For the love of God, no more lock and load

For the love of God, no more lock and load

For the love of God, no more lock and load

For the love of God, no more

[Outro]

"We give our speeches, we hold our moments of silence

And then we wait for the national buzz to fade"
