Outlines of Chalk

Sins of the Father revisit the Son Easy access- Gimme The Gun Our vote counts or so they say Still both parties fail us -every damn day Misery loves company so it hides and walks With cowardly stealth- it lurks and stalks Within the gun barrel-terror has crept Sociopath and socially inept It's ticking ticking time bombs- ticking ticking time bombs Ticking ticking time bombs- ticking ticking time bombs Tick tock-tick tock Early warnings - red flag signs Easy access-no waiting time Out of their element-Out of their mind No denial period -it's never a crime And here we are staring round these outlines of chalk There's blood on the bricks round these outlines of chalk Staring in shock round these outlines of chalk Shaking and crying round outlines of chalk The half staff flags are out flying round And other flags of distress are being flown upside down A dialogue is wide open for a system that is broken Although a leader speaks-very little is spoken We say a gun is a gun -but not all are equal The AR15 - it fills us with unlimited sequels But the assault weapons ban bill always is swept under the rug And the leaders stand silent as more graves are being dug So it goes with the chosen elect-who serve and protect Our chosen elect and their bullshit we come to expect Till we talk about the next mass shooting And the next one and then the one after that and the one after that Congressmen all- come gather round Will it have to be one of your own- till you stand your ground And you can wash your hands- but the blood will stay It's the blood pay from the NRA Yeah- you can wash your hands- but the blood will stay It's the blood pay from the NRA So soon we'll be staring out at outlines of chalk There're will be blood on the bricks round these outlines of chalk Shaking and crying round outlines of chalk We will be calling you out round these outlines of chalk No Actions-No Response No Actions-No Response But they'll have blood on their hands- when they get their pay it's the blood pay from the NRA - Soon we'll be staring out at outlines of chalk There'll be blood on the bricks round these outlines of chalk Shaking and screaming round outlines of chalk We'll be calling you out round these outlines of chalk It's going to happen- It's going to happen- again and again Again and again_it 's gonna happen It's gonna happen but we will call you out Call you out when it happens again- happens again And There will come a time- there will come a day When one of your own- one of your own-will be taken away And death will be a date in the calendar And grief will consume the calendar- the calendar- your calendar And you will hear that song -that old time Song it will be in the trees- in the air- in the breeze saying Is it just my imagination- is this just my imagination Is this just my imagination-running away with me
