How Summer Flies

When I want to complain Saying my, my, how summer flies Think about how fast it went For the ones who didn't make it out alive Down at the store As soon as Easter ended The endcaps were amended They had up all the summer shit And the day after The Fourth of July I'm seeing back-to-school supplies What the f*ck is this But among all the bright colors And American flags It seems they forgot A few key things Bullet-proof vests and body armor Were missing When I want to complain Saying my, my, how summer flies Think about how fast it went For the ones who didn't make it out alive My, my, how summer flies So when I blink and August comes in Like the nosy neighbor Who won't leave until He gets what he wants And it's up again each morning At five-thirty I'll pray to anything that's holy Today won't be the one That my school won't be the school That makes tomorrow's news Cause we're shot up By some right-wing insurrectionist And his semi-automatic Prized possessions For every time the sun comes up A few won't live to see it set When I want to complain Saying my, my, how summer flies I'll think about how fast It must have been For the ones who didn't make it out alive My, my, how summer flies I know you swear by these documents Though they were written when The government owned slaves I only ask, what to you is more important Your right to own A killing machine Or your brother's right to breathe Breathe When I want to complain Saying my, my, how summer flies Think about how fast it went For the ones who didn't make it The ones who couldn't be here The ones who Didn't make it out Alive My, my, how summer flies How quickly it all went by My, my, how summer flies How quickly it all went by So fast
