In the name of

They’re killing the kids again
It’s a right enshrined in law.
They’re killing the kids again,
Because they won the independence war,
They’re killing the kids again,
In the name of God-given rights.
They’re killing the kids again,
Blasting school days into nights.
They’re killing the kids again,
In the name of self-defence.
They’re killing the kids again,
And it makes no bloody sense.
They’re killing the kids again,
In the land of the free and the brave.
They’re killing the kids again,
To fill another child-sized grave.
They’re killing the kids again,
Blood paints another classroom floor.
They’re killing the kids again,
Not even the Government keeps score.
They’re killing the kids again,
And the 13th school bell rings.
They’re killing the kids again,
And it’s only early Spring.
They’re killing the kids again,
In the name of Uncle Sam.
They’re killing the kids again,
Because their Republic can.
