One Bullet

(albüm: Bang! - 2008)

One bullet, one gun
One dead, but we all bleed son
And you know it's such a shame

One life, more tears
I can't believe that it's going on here
God knows it's such a shame

Take a look at America
'Cause it's much too late
Once the horse has run
You can't go back and shut the gate

If we ever see the day
When all innocence is gone
Tell me, what have we become?

One child in the way
Wrong time at the wrong place
And you know it's such a shame

Too young to live in fear
But you ain't got the time
To be a kid 'round here
Lord knows it's such a shame

You shouldn't have to worry now
When you barely reach fifteen
You got enough to cope with anyway

If we can't protect the young
From themselves it would seem
We're watching as our future slides away

Why in this crazed new millennium
Do we still have so much to learn?
Tell me why
When it's clear in the past every scared kid would run
Now he's wrapping his fist 'round a gun
And somebody dies

One bullet, one gun
One dead and we all bleed son
And you know it's such a shame

One life, more tears
I can't believe that it's going on here
And you know it's such a shame

You know it's such a shame
