Shots ring out They've got the innocent and our society is doomed! And we ask the stupid question "How'd this happen?" For we just don't know what to do And the NRA suggests police in the halls Not realizing what that would cost While they also want low taxes for all Oh do they know the difference between the government and Santa Claus? But the worse thing we could do is follow Westboro and praise our gods For if you're looking for idiot incarnate, there's no need to look further on And I wonder if it's a hidden camera show For surely society hasn't sunk that low And when the KKK is the voice of reason, we all fold For evolution is supposed to go forwards, you know? And all the while it's just the same The aftermath is always a game It's a simple process so often replayed It starts with shock, confusion, grief, and then hate As we await the refrain Turning on the television, we see the president has tears in his eyes The voice of the nation pleading reform in response to surprise So that maybe we'll get a sympathetic law To come from a congress that's so blind to right and wrong Quoting the second's permission to bear arms Written by those who couldn't have foreseen such harm For if our forefathers knew of modern weapons, would there be any debate? With the resulting consequence opposing the intentions of keeping people safe Written strictly for militias to have To fight the government if the situation was so bad That the only resolution would be combat Oh there can't be anything more unrealistic than that And still the situation's the same The aftermath is always a game It's a simple process so often replayed It starts with shock, confusion, grief, and then hate As we await the refrain Too scared now to return, I'd rather keep my European security I might not know anyone, but at least I'm not being killed by insanity So I'm in exile now I suppose Volunteering my time to my hopes That one day I'll be able to know I won't make a victim list back home But it's quite ridiculous to think that security could ever be restored In a country that must hold the record for engaging in the most amount of wars Where half the taxes go to defense And I'm honestly quite frightened by this Oh do we need a military dictatorship To realize how much of a problem it is? And all the while it's just the same The aftermath is always a game It's a simple process so often replayed It starts with shock, confusion, grief, and then hate As we await the refrain
