There's a stack of ungraded papers
On top of the teacher's desk
And there's an answer sheet out in the middle of the floor
Soaking up crimson red
And there's a jungle gym just a waiting for them
But the children didn't ever come
Cause someone came down the hallway
Carrying a thirty-clip gun
And there were children hiding in the closets
and teachers calling 911
What's going on

There's an overflowing basket of crumpled up tissues
Sitting at the head of the bed
And there's a Bible opened up on the coffee table
To the pages all written in red
And there's a father and a mother holding on to each other
Hollow and alone
And there's a brother and a sister that miss their little sister
They can't believe she's gone
And the whole world's crying
Everybody's crying
What's going on

Well you can close your pretty little eyes
And you can cover your delicate face
But it don't matter where you try to hide
It's crazy all over the place
You can't go for a walk you can't go for a ride
You can't stay at home you can't go outside
But you can't leave the children alone
You can't leave the little children alone
This can't go on

There's a pen there on the dresser
By some doctor bills
And there's an unsigned letter of resignation
Under anxiety pills
And there's a hero full of sorrow on the straight and narrow
Crying with her head in her hands
No one should have to see what she had to see
A vision with no remand
And everybody's looking for answers
But nobody understands
What's going on

And there were children hiding in the closets
And teachers calling 911
What's going on
What's going on
