this is not america (i heard it on the news)

Hello, it is me
I've been calling to call your lie
Stand-your-ground, are you more free?
Increasing violence down my street

It's a shame, blaming games
It must be nice above the lights
But someday, you'll see
Reaching out for nothing

This is not America
This is not your life
This is not America
This is not your life

Hello, I am here
It's hard to find love these days, so what if I'm gay
Lights, on decay
It's sad seeing women's rights fade
There's a shop downtown not to far away
Where you can go, get a gun, it's even a sale
2 for 1, our feelings are miles away?

Not to far away
You can go, it's getting late
Not to far away
You can go, it's getting late
Not to far away
You can go, it's getting late
Not to far away
You can go, it's getting late

This is not America
This is not your life
This is not America
This is not your life
This is not America
This is not your life
This is not America
It's another life you live, life you live

I heard it on the news
Some kind of parade
Shooting at a school
A masquerade
I heard it on the news
Some kind of parade
Shooting at a school
A masquerade
I heard it on the news
Some kind of parade
Shooting at a school
A masquerade
I heard it on the news
Some kind of parade
Shooting at a school
A masquerade

I am here, what a shame
Can't imagine what it feels like
And I know, it is late
(But it's better to start now than never)
What's wrong with showing fear

We are here, such a shame
And I can't even start to imagine
(But it's better to start now than never)
(So much career politics, so much loss)

(Sometimes I wonder, how will it all end)
