Tell me when it has been enough, Let me know when these bodies have run dry When the sidewalks have been painted good and red, You can’t brush off the blood, It just fades a little bit, A patch just slightly darker than the rest, They’ll take the other streets, blind to the madness, Forget about the graveyards they’ve made of neighborhoods, When targets have names and the lead expires too **** soon, Tell me when it has been enough Let me know when your heart has been pierced too Than maybe you can understand
