Lower The Flag

Word just came from upstate JoeLower the flag againThis time it's Dayton, southwest OhioLast night El Paso, Texas counted 22 deadSoon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayersSoon there'll be protests in the streetAnd the media from out of townWill chew it up and spit it outThen move on to the next oneBefore we even grieveYeah, then move on to the next oneBefore we even grieveSome say we start to die on the day that we're bornBut no one wants to live life on their kneesMaybe we start to die on the day that we're bornBut we deserve to live life in betweenA husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie's nameAnd promises he'll see her once againWon't see her childen growWon't see their love grow oldLast night their dream became a nightmareAnd their nightmare has no endLast night their dream became a nightmareAnd their nightmare has no endSome say we start to die on the day that we're bornBut no one wants to live life on their kneesMaybe we start to die on the day that we're bornBut we deserve to live life in betweenThese days it's hard to sleepWhen I lay my head downWhat if it was your loved oneLaying on the groundI'm left to think aboutWhat if, what now?Dear God I wanna prayBut tonight I have my doubtsWhen I think about those families nowIf there's something we can talk aboutlet's talk about itIf there's something we can figure out, let's figure it outIf there's something we can talk aboutlet's talk about itIf there's something we can figure out, let's figure it outEl Paso, TexasDayton, OhioLas Vegas, NevadaSebring, FloridaOrlando, FloridaPenn State UniversityAurora, IllinoisVirginia Beach, VirginiaGilroy, CaliforniaPittsburgh, PennsylvaniaMarjory Stoneman Douglas HighColumbineColumbineSandy Hook ElementarySome say we start to die on the day that we're bornBut no one wants to live life on their kneesMaybe we start to die on the day that we're bornYou believe what you want to believeBut we deserve to live life in betweenWord just came from upstate JoeLower the flag again
