Shots Fired Lyrics

This all started long ago

Back in 1966

A Texas sniper in a clock tower

With problems he can't fix

So instead he just starts shooting

And invents a brand new game

Where the players mostly die

And no one's left to take the blame

Shots fired

Thunder in the hall

Yesterday a high school

Tomorrow it's a mall

Hear the glass door breaking

The bullets in the air

Another loser with a rifle

And a cold and empty stare

Shots fired

Shots fired

Shots fired

Over and over again

The same situation

You can hide or fight

Or maybe you can run

But there has to be

A saner kind of solution

Than pinning our hopes

On a good guy with a gun

On the news they never show us

The blood and the pieces

Sometimes we won't even learn

The gunman's name

Generations have come and gone

And the madness continues

Every time it's different

But somehow it's always the same

Shots fired

Children on the run

Terror in the heartland

So many lives undone

Feel all our hearts breaking

Watch the people fall

Ask ourselves the question

Is there nothing we can do at all?

Shots fired

Shots fired

Shots fired

Shots fired
