| Kids and guns starting out so young
|
| We normalize and empathize and hold our hands over our eyes
|
| The breaking news, when I wake into
|
| Turn it on, turn it off, pray to God one day it stops
|
| What are we supposed to do
|
| When everyone’s afraid of changing?
|
| How much do we have to lose?
|
| Isn’t all that we are worth saving?
|
| So raise your hands and raise them high, ooh yeah
|
| Hold them up and hold your fight, oh yeah
|
| Hey Papa, what’s the news?
|
| Doesn’t anybody wanna hear the truth?
|
| Hey Papa, it’s not fair
|
| Seems like people going down everywhere
|
| Hey Papa, oh hey
|
| And we try to survive, oh, we’ll live or we’ll die
|
| And we wanna be free, but we wanna be right
|
| When I don’t understand, I get angry sometimes
|
| And we all want a piece of American dream
|
| Red, white, and blue, freedom and peace
|
| I don’t know what it means 'cause it’s far from our reach
|
| If not for you, then all for love, ooh yeah
|
| For everyone, forever loved, oh yeah
|
| Hey Papa, I give up
|
| I don’t know if I’m strong enough
|
| Hey Papa, are you still there?
|
| I guess I’m getting just a little scared
|
| Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa, oh yeah
|
| Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa
|
| Oh whoa oh
|
| Oh, oh, oh
|
| Mamas mourn the loss in this world
|
| And children pay the cost to live in this world
|
| Hey Papa, what’s the news? |
| (What's the news?)
|
| Doesn’t anybody wanna hear the truth?
|
| Hey Papa, it’s not fair (It's not fair, it’s not fair)
|
| Seems like people going down everywhere
|
| Hey Papa, I give up
|
| I don’t know if I’m strong enough (Oh)
|
| Hey Papa, are you still there? |
| (Oh)
|
| I guess I’m getting just a little scared (Oh yeah)
|
| Hey Papa, hey, hey Papa, oh yeah
|
| Hey Papa, hey, oh, hey Papa
|
| I’m not going down
|
| I’m not going down |
