Bang Bang

I’ve never owned a loaded gun, but I’ve faced one 
So I hid behind a stone wall and prayed to God he’d miss me.
I never saw it coming, believe me!
Oh one too many casualties, but it’s fine, they’re in our thoughts and prayers...
What!?

I can hear the screams & bang bangs.
Blood is pulsing through my veins.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is far from self-protection.
Since when did I become the animal with no reflection? 

He said to “get on the ground, this will get messy!”
He said to “get on the ground or you’ll hear my bang bang!”
He wasn’t messing around.
My best friend screamed and cried and begged to save her dear life.
Then I heard that bang bang. Bang bang.

To make matters far worse, there’s no motive.
He just shot and killed all for fun,
Like some sort of Jigsaw movie!
I never saw it coming, believe me!
Oh one too many casualties, but let’s praise the lord almighty!

I can hear the screams & bang bangs!
Blood is pulsing through my veins!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is far from self-protection!
Since when did I become the animal with no reflection? 

He said to “get on the ground, this will get messy!”
He said to “get on the ground or you’ll hear my bang bang!”
He wasn’t messing around!
My best friend screamed and cried and begged to save her dear life!
Then I heard that bang bang. Bang bang!

I pictured myself growing old with some grandkids.
Guess that was too much to ask;
Too selfish & absurd.
Politicians just smile and wave for the camera.
I don’t want your thoughts. I don’t want your prayers. I want the justice for the bodies that were lying there
I won’t be silent x4
No silence, gun violence. I want justice for the bodies that were lying there.

He said to “get on the ground, this will get messy!”
He said to “get on the ground or you’ll hear my bang bang!”
He wasn’t messing around!
My best friend screamed and cried and begged to save her dear life!
Then I heard that bang bang. Bang bang. Bang!

 This is an Anti- gun violence song. I was actually in the Saugus High School shooting and wrote this song a month before it happened. Every word I wrote is accurate. Please take the time to listen and share. Thank you.
