  • It's hard to name a tragedy when it keeps repeating
    It's hard to name a tragedy: constantly defeated

    Why can't a child walk down the street?
    Slow motion bullets
    Another slaughter every week
    Slow motion bullets

    Mothers, fathers, don't you know the numbers?
    Mothers, fathers, don't you know?

    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
    Why can't a child walk down the street? On and on
    Another slaughter every week. Slow motion bullets

    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 Writer/s: Andy Trick, Jeremy DePoyster, Jonathan Gering, Kyle Sipress, Mike Hranica
