Welcome to America, it's just another day
Ten more souls down, how many will it take
To end this senseless violence and this misdirected hate
How many more bodies before we reevaluate
Take a step back, take a fresh approach
We can scream all we want but no one seems to know
Just look at politicians, they barely bat an eye
I wonder how they'd feel if it were their children to die
Then look at any mom or dad with a daughter or son
Scared to send their children to school because of a gun
We can blame it on what we want but at the end of the day
It's the bullets taking their lives away
And so we sing
Welcome to America
Welcome to America
Welcome to America, the home of the brave
'Til it comes to mental illness scared to admit we're slaves
To a disease we don't understand and don't know how to fix
Without taking pills that make zombies out of our kids
We tell 'em it'll go away it's just in their heads
But when it doesn't stop they start wishing they're dead
They try to drown the thoughts out with some cuts to their arms
They don't know any better, they find their peace in self harm
Hoping it'll do the trick and take away the pain
'Cuz all that matters is stopping the voices in their brains
Maybe there was something that we could have done
As a society to prevent this and help 'em stay strong
But we did 'em so wrong
Welcome to America
Welcome to America
Welcome to America
Yeah, it's just another day
Welcome to America
How many lost lives will it take for us to change
Are we so numb that
Are we so numb that we can't feel the pain
Listen
Maybe it starts with the way we're raising our kids
Maybe it'd stop if they didn't feel neglected
Maybe a change in the way that we proclaim our love for them
Instead of talking down on 'em maybe we could listen
To what they got to say and all the things that they feel
Let's remember back when we were young
These things were so real
Now so caught in our day to day
We forget what they need us to say
These three little words that could change everything
Welcome to America
Welcome to America
Welcome to America
Yeah, it's just another day
Welcome to America
How many lost lives will it take for us to change
Yeah
How many lost lives will it take for us to change
Are we so numb that
Are we so numb that we can't feel the pain
