Living in America

Any channel you choose It's breaking news What's going on? Who is this john? What do we got? Folks have been shot Oh not again Hope it's not my friends And just when you feel safe and sound A kid loads up another round And then he gets a lick of fame We disregard all the victims and remember his name And it's so hard living in America There's nothing we can do That could prevent him to shoot A dozen gone He isn't done To him it's fun Pandemonium And years of grief And sick beliefs Come to ahead In shotgun spread John, you cannot run Time is numbered son Cops down the block Ticking on the clock The unaffected watch the tube Send all the thoughts and prayers to you Talking loud not saying anything And disregard all the victims and remember his name And it's no fun living in America Where it's a constant threat 'Cause we are still paying a debt We're shedding tears He's striking fear This time the mall He's standing tall Before you die We must ask why But you'll never know 'Cause it's all for show Just when you thought you were safe and sound Another shooting is winding down Turn off the news The slate is clean Disregard all the victims and remember John's name It's so hard living in America There's nothing we could do To prevent him to shoot
