Stack the bodies higher Stack them for the empire People want more cash So they sell harmful weapons They don't mind the ash Made of victims of aggression Like collateral children in Yemen Who are needlessly sent to heaven Or the schoolchildren in Florida Who had to go face the coroner These children only know what we teach them So how come the only things that can reach them Are our weapons And deadly directions? Because of lobbyists like the NRA Using logic from the seventh grade To create a coalition of those who believe what they're told And those unwilling to change because they're too old And adults who desperately want their toys Even if it means the death of little boys So the bodies continue to stack to the sky For people who dream of killing black guys Black in the sense that they don't know who they are They just want to feel hard Stuck in a childish fantasy of protecting their home Or a petulant fear of the unknown
Their economic gain Causes ballistic pain Inside their bullet rain Innocence circles the drain But we must make decisions together Even with the emotionally severed In order to make our society better Until then our children get deader
They use uncertainty to buy time And convince the masses That the real problem is crime To create rhetoric molasses Because they make a living From us dying They don't mind bullet giving Until we're lying Six feet under The guns sound like thunder Warning of an approaching lightning storm Where the rain drops stab us to our core Then mix with the blood on the floor Until civilization is no more
I hear loud guns Then I hear church bells I walk in the sun But the foul dirt smells Of the corpses of countless kids Representing high contract bids And the tears of their mothers That are swept under the covers By those with no empathy That cause only entropy Then they expect to live near us A gun will make them hear us
