Ballad Of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
Just another ordinary day, the clocks strike 2:19
Everyone's waiting to hear the dismissal bell, once again they are free
Two minutes creep by the suddenly there is confusion all around
Cause there are noises in the hallway and alarms begin to sound
The first was a tragedy
A dozen more we made a choice
Fear rolled through still most nobody knew that danger was on their grounds
He was on a mission to turn lives upside down
Shots echoed through the building, barely any time to hide
With six minutes and twenty seconds, seventeen injured, seventeen died
The safety of our children lost out
To unlimited gun rights
They began marching in unison ready to fight right to the end
They now feel the future of lives are in their hands
Not given any time for grieving though friends, sons, and daughters are no longer breathing
All this gun violence keeps on continuing, children are shouting never again
With money the N.R.A. tries
To make us believe their lies
Dana Lash tries to explain why guns are more important than their lives
But the people were not buying it, after what they have lived they will fight
Children left to clean up another mess adults have made
With fire in their souls they spit in the eyes of the enemy N.R.A.
What are we protecting, cold steel over life
How we protect our children, people it's our choice
Never again politics and money over life
People it's our choice
