lyrics

Calm & Petty
(Intro)
To whom ever this may concern,
Did you know that irony relates to the universe like running water downstream?
Here, allow me to give you some examples...
(Verse 1)
March 13th in seaside California, a teacher accidentally discharged a gun during a public safety class at seaside high-school injuring a student, because a safety class always needs a shooting...if you can't tell that was sarcasm.
(Chorus)
Your trapping my mind in a cage, and destracting us with useless "fake news" our minds are in a cage but children are too. But don't shoot our lives away.
(Verse 2) the police serve to protect us, but turn their guns on us.
Not protecting us but rejecting us.
Hands up, hope they don't shoot.
I don't wanna die for my rights.
I don't wanna die for the way I was born.
(Chorus repeat)
(Bridge instrumental)
(Verse 3)
Why must the world be this way?
Why do they put our minds in a cage? Why does this happen?
I don't even know what to say...
