Die Today In The USA
© Michael R. Casali 2022

Someone's kids gonna die today, someone's kids are gonna die today
Someone's kids gonna die today, die today in the USA

Audrey took the bus to school, wore her favorite sweater, it was cool
When the shooting started she tried to run. Audrey won't be coming home
Tommy stayed home sick today, didn't get shot, he's ok
But Tommy's best friend got blowed away, Tommy will never be the same

Someone's kids gonna die today, someone's kids getting blown away
Someone's kids gonna die today, die today in the USA

Now there's plenty of blame to go around, blame the schools, blame this town
Blame the teachers or something that was said, blame the kids, blame their frends

Johnny wanted to be an astronaut, Dani a nurse, Jimmy a cop
But a gunman came with an AR-15 gunned them down, killed their dreams
There won't be no homecoming for these kids, no graduation parties or college plans
Just an empty room at the top of the stairs, while we send our thoughts and prayers

Someone's kids gonna die today, someone's kids are gonna die today
Someone's kids gonna getting blown away, blown away in the USA
Someone's kids gonna die today, someone's kids are gonna die today
Someone's kids gonna die today, die today in the USA
