Lyrics

I just don’t understand
What is this awful sham?
How many more must die?
before you and I…wake up.

It was the perfect line
the patriotic kind
A constitutional right
that could best any fight
Until we woke….

(chorus)
Up, until we woke up (x4)
We must wake up (x4)

A wise woman once said
Follow the money thread
A trickle now a flood
Our hands are stained with blood

Sandy Hook, she pleaded
these guns are not needed
Don’t turn away again
It’s time to make amends
and wake….

(chorus)

What if it were your child
caught in the crossfire
prayers and thoughts cannot soften
any more coffins

Revenge is not sweet
Hurt slow to retreat
a powerful seduction
weapons of mass destruction

(chorus)
