Gather round kids, form a circle and watch as
I tell you all a tale bout the birth of a monster
Started as a dream with the best of intent
Then it turned into a nightmare of death and lament, hey
Shhhh...here he comes
My heart has never pumped so much blood in my life
Tell me how could I still feel so numb
As I sit here, kneeling on the floor, crouched down behind a turned up desk
I get a feeling that I never had before like a pound or a burn in my chest
All at once, I can tell, this is something that I never ever seen, brand new and
At the same time it just feels so familiar, so much a part of my being, so human
Right then I recognize what the pain is
And realize there's no point to complain this
Feelin that I'm feelin when I close my eyes
Is the feelin that you feel when you're about to die
Here he comes now, down the hall walkin
AR-15 clink clink on the lockers
Louder and clearer, I can't believe this shit's real
If I'm this scared, can't imagine how these kids feel
GASP
Oh my god, I'm surrounded by babies
Each and every last parent trusted me...ME
An underpaid teacher with their safety
Who am I to defend their lives? This is not what I signed up for
Guess it's no surprise, running drills, getting down on the floor
Even if we make it out alive, and try to tell the kids don't be scared
Half the country will be down to ride, the other half'll give us thoughts and prayers
Time's up, don't you cry. What good is that for?
Twenty kids by my side, and now he's at the door
Soon as we lock eyes, know just what he's got in store
We're packin' lunch. He's literally armed for war
Gather round kids, form a circle and watch as
I tell you all a tale bout the birth of a monster
Started as a dream with the best of intent
Then it turned into a nightmare of death and lament, hey
Tell me how do we convince
A whole nation of men
That the fears that they have are pretend
And they'll never be greater than our fear of them
We're running scared
Somebody save me
'Cause of our hate and fear
We're killing our babies
If that won't stop us
Don't know what will
Guess we're Americans
We deserve the right to kill
We're running scared
Somebody save me
'Cause of our hate and fear
We're killing our babies
If that won't stop us
Then nothing will
Guess we're we're Americans
What are we without the power to kill?
