Lyrics

I didn't want to live in a time like this. I didn't want to have to stock on bullets.
I'd rather greet the world with a kiss not with my finger on the trigger to pull it.
I don't want to have to be afraid, hide my toilet paper in a safe,
And make my money off what hatred made and hate my neighbor like myself.

Maybe I don't have too.
But I still hold this thing. It goes "Boombadoomboom Boombadoomboom."
Yeah, and maybe I don't have too.
But I still hold this thing. It goes "Boombadoomboom Boombadoomboom."
I still hold this thing. It goes "Boombadoomboom Boombadoomboom."
Until we reach a better time.

I never thought I'd have to wear a mask.
Back at my mother's home we were just fine.
And I thought war was something from the past:
A thing our father's fought and left behind.
And I don't want to have to make mistakes,
An outstretched arm behind a shaky blade,
And tell myself that I don't feel the pain.
Yeah, it's so easy to forget...
