And The Bells Toll Lyrics

Sirens were going

Emotions were hot

Every reason to stop

Now we're blaming the cop

But did he ever consider

The person that they were chasing

Was probably scared

And possibly vacant

Got out of the car, hands up

In front of his house

Officers yelling at him

To get on the ground

But he didn't understand

What the officer said

So without delaying

He shot him

Shot him dead

And the bells toll

For another lost soul

Rung for the downtrodden

Mistaken and unknown

The bells toll

Split second decisions are how

Men in blue react

Police as a whole

Most live to protect

I've been scratching my head

Too many injured or dead

Not one to jump to conclusions

Or say all cops are bad

A man in my hometown

Wouldn't put down a rake

Took two bullets

Landed dead on his face

A man in Seattle

Carving wood with a knife

Took four bullets

Bled out and died

And the bells toll

For another lost soul

Rung for the downtrodden

Mistaken and unknown

The bells toll

This has got to stop

Too many bodies have dropped

So I'm going straight to the top

To put an end to this plot

Gotta get in front of those

Who know nothing about us

And you wonder the reason

Why so many don't trust

Without throwing stones

At everything as a whole

Look at the talk shows

They're so quick to impose

Witnesses told the police

That the man was deaf

In a pool of blood

He laid there dead

And the bells toll

For another lost soul

Rung for the downtrodden

Mistaken and unknown

The bells toll

And the bells toll

For another lost soul

Rung for the downtrodden

Mistaken and unknown

The bells toll

Bang, Bang, Bang

Waving hands

Bang, Bang

Doesn't Comprehend

Bang, Bang

Too many funerals to attend

Bang, Bang, Bang

And the bells toll
