I wake up on a normal day
Checked my phone CNN on my twitter feed
Another day, another tragic scene
Suspicions as to why we're not surprised
Are we as numb as it truly seems
Last week's breaking news is our new routine
Is this a normal day (I wonder why)
This is becoming a normal thing (they always say)
A Glock 22 was the only way (what can we do)
Will we ever see a normal day
Why am I scared to drive my Saturn Ion
Always looking over my shoulder
The actions of a few- they've got me wondering
If you and I will ever see another 'normal' day
Is pessimism really the short view of life
Because in light of current times, being pessimistic is normal right
Are we desensitized to the sights we've seen
Or are we not concerned because it hasn't happened to me
Is this a normal day (I wonder why)
This is becoming a normal thing (they always say)
A Glock 22 was the only way (what can we do)
Will we ever see a normal day
Why am I scared to drive my Saturn Ion
Always looking over my shoulder
The actions of a few- they've got me wondering
If you and I will ever see another 'normal' day
