A child asks what their parent did
When they had lockdown drills when they were a kid
Parent can't respond... it's hard to pretend
We didn't have domestic terrorism drills back then
The almighty gun, so righteous and strong
Is part of the problem, can empower the wrong
Misinformation breeds fear, what follows is hate
When the gun goes off it's not a mistake

Russian bots
Well-known facts all disregarded
And echo posts
Propaganda running rampant
Fake accounts
Well-known facts all disregarded
And willing hosts
Propaganda running rampant

Hit the deck, block the door, cover up your head
Survivors demand action--get attacked instead
Hard to comprehend someone whose actions are so evil
But gun money talks hard, loud and of upheaval
Whichever messenger it was told you kill it dead
Whatever message put that privilege in your head
Whatever reason every rhyme every screed
Hate poisons the mind, and lone wolves run free

I believe the children are our fodder

A frightened parent, misinformed voter
Vote to hold defenses against The Other
Licensed violence to encourage the hate
To re-oppress those who stand up
It threatens the oppressor
Even kids in cages separated, no food, water, cold, dying on the floor
The victim blaming shaming gaming game is getting really old... really old

OPPRESSOR
The bruised ego in the mirror
Which must be freed
A lone wolf from the sanctuary
Writes himself a lunatic screed
Of paranoia and righteousness
Choose a new pack of targets
With power no one should wield
And yet the privilege is theirs
Because their privilege dares
The privilege makes it right
The privilege makes the other
The privilege demands retribution
The privilege makes it black and white
Martyrs for it, and murders that fit
For a smug mug shot and a police escort out
To the sunlight and the cameras and the notoriety
The victims scattered wide across the floors inside again
Liberty is
Tragedy is
Terrorist is
Hypocrisy
The people scream for justice
But the violins keep playing
So the prayers keep praying
Everyone back to their places

Proud to own it proud to give it away
Lockdown, lock out
Thoughts and prayers, the American way
Lockdown, lock out
Overwhelming support for an actual fix
Lockdown, lock out
Falls on well-paid ears, misogynist or just racist
Here it comes again
Tick tick bang

The power to decide who lives and dies
A good guy with a gun
The privilege decides who lives and dies
A good guy with a gun
Tick tick bang

Is it over
