lyrics

Her message comes through and I start to run
I don’t wanna die mom
There’s blood
I hear guns

We’re all just fish in a barrel
at some god damned shooting gallery
Only country in the world where fools think guns will always set you free

He fired 200 rounds at our teenage daughter
Each day brings another it’s going to drag us under
200 rounds at our teenage daughter
The numbers keep piling until they drag us under

Can’t get close enough
What even could I do
Can’t put myself between
And she doesn’t want me to

He fired 200 rounds at our teenage daughter
Each day brings another it’s going to drag us under
200 rounds at our teenage daughter
The numbers keep piling until they drag us under

I need to roll back time
Or turn superhero-strong
I’d give anything to have
You safely in my arms

This can’t be happening
Not happening, no, please no
Because this can’t be happening
Not happening, not happening
No no no no no no no

Their stupid Wild West fantasy just
Almost wrecked our lives
They all want to play soldier but
They’re too scared to pay the price
The look in her eyes as she shrugged it all off
Said it had to come sometime
No innocence lost
It’s just part of the cost
A cost we all pay
Just so some fools can play
Play soldier
play soldier
Soldier
Play soldier
Play soldier
Soldier
Play soldier
Play soldier
Soldier
Play soldier
Soldier
