Somewhere far far away Over the rainbow Its 5 o'clock A family is waking up hungry, to the sound Of gunshots A young mother cradles a baby She doesnt expect to live Like so many others she waits For an end Any end Across the world The illusion is correct The grass is greener Life easier Its five o'clock The mother is cooking While her children set the table In their perfect home surrounded By a picket fence In their gated community Where the only screams are Those of children playing

Somewhere it's 5 o'clock
Somewhere far far away Over the rainbow Its 5 o'clock A family is waking up hungry, to the sound Of gunshots A young mother cradles a baby She doesnt expect to live Like so many others she waits For an end Any end Across the world The illusion is correct The grass is greener Life easier Its five o'clock The mother is cooking While her children set the table In their perfect home surrounded By a picket fence In their gated community Where the only screams are Those of children playing
