Bilingual
Most don't get a choice in the matter
Crouched down in the classroom with the lights off
Some die at the hands of another
And some people build the hills that they die on
And bullets don't discriminate like people do
They don't care about what you claim to believe
And if you think that death is just the unfortunate cost of freedom
You will live and surely die in irony
'Cause you once said that empathy is made up
That you can't stand it, it's some new age type of view
You probably wouldn't feel a thing if I was gunned down
But I am nothing like you
'Cause violence is a bed in which we wake up
It is heavy, it is twisted, it is silent
It is bullets, blood, and burning bodies
Constant carnage, children starving
Seared onto the inside of our eyelids
We are disturbingly desensitized to suffering of the cruelest kind
And bloodshed will continue to exist
When the sick and sudden way he died
Allowed us all to watch it live
The leading cause of death in our kids
And now they say, "Our nation's truly broken"
Is this what it took for you to catch on?
There are hospitals and churches turned to burning ash
And the red, white, and blue supplied the bomb
'Cause violence doesn't happen in a vacuum
It's a lesson many still have yet to learn
That when your policy is lined with disregard for human life
You cannot be surprised when things like this occur
And all I feel is fear of where this leaves us
For people like me and like you
There's a full blown fire in America
And a fascist on Air Force Two
