They Ask Why
THEY ASK WHY
"Thoughts and prayers to yours and theirs."
Cry the adults that surround me
How about my thoughts?
They're filled with shots
And these bloodstains all around me
He shot my friends, and now they're dead
But mommy don't you worry
This kind of subject's taught in school
It's a lesson we learn early
I've practiced so many times before
How to hide and how to run
Oh mommy, don't be sad today
It's just a big boy and his gun
You say it's not normal
I don't believe it
We've asked for help
But don't receive it
What do you mean
You can't conceive it?
We hate it too but it's all we know
Mommy asks why
She doesn't know
Daddy asks why
He hates any control
Society asks why
But can't they vote?
The president asks why
Is this a joke?
We want to live!
Parents ask why
Society asks why
The government asks why
When they don't act we die
But hey, they don't know
"Thoughts and prayers to yours and theirs."
Cry the adults that surround me
How about my thoughts?
They're filled with shots
And these bloodstains all around me
He shot my friends, and now they're dead
But mommy don't you worry
This kind of subject's taught in school
It's a lesson we learn early
I've practiced so many times before
How to hide and how to run
Oh mommy, don't be sad today
It's just a big boy and his gun
You say it's not normal
I don't believe it
We've asked for help
But don't receive it
What do you mean
You can't conceive it?
We hate it too but it's all we know
Mommy asks why
She doesn't know
Daddy asks why
He hates any control
Society asks why
But can't they vote?
The president asks why
Is this a joke?
We want to live!
Parents ask why
Society asks why
The government asks why
When they don't act we die
But hey, they don't know
