When respect is gone When the rules are no more When martyrs have to win No lives matter When titles and ranks of authority Are constantly attacked, and can be scrutinized for doing a service No lives matter When no one is there to listen, to help, to protect you Then your life matters Your life cannot matter Without others lives Lives keep balance Just because there's disagreement Doesn't justify irrational behavior This only proves No lives matter Once we learn to respect all Once we learn no one including ourselves are perfect Once we accept violence is not an answer Once we accept accountability for ourselves Once we stop pointing guns and fingers at one another Will we start to civilly start thinking Of our actions and the price we pay for them Then maybe then will All lives matter.

No lives matter
When respect is gone When the rules are no more When martyrs have to win No lives matter When titles and ranks of authority Are constantly attacked, and can be scrutinized for doing a service No lives matter When no one is there to listen, to help, to protect you Then your life matters Your life cannot matter Without others lives Lives keep balance Just because there's disagreement Doesn't justify irrational behavior This only proves No lives matter Once we learn to respect all Once we learn no one including ourselves are perfect Once we accept violence is not an answer Once we accept accountability for ourselves Once we stop pointing guns and fingers at one another Will we start to civilly start thinking Of our actions and the price we pay for them Then maybe then will All lives matter.
