Lower The Flag

Word just came from upstate Joe
Lower the flag again
This time its Dayton, southwest Ohio
Last night El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead
Soon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers
Soon therell be protests in the street
And the media from out of town
Will chew it up and spit it out
Then move on to the next one
Before we even grieve
Yeah , then move on to the next one
Before we even grieve
Some say we start to die on the day that were born
But no one wants to live life on their knees
Maybe we start to die on the day that were born
But we deserve to live life in between
A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margies name
And promises hell see her once again
Wont see her children grow
Wont see their love grow old
Last night their dream became a nightmare
And their nightmare has no end
Last night their dream became a nightmare
And their nightmare has no end
Some say we start to die on the day that were born
But no one wants to live life on their knees
Maybe we start to die on the day that were born
But we deserve to live life in between
These days its hard to sleep
When I lay my head down
What if it was your loved one
Laying on the ground
Im left to think about
What if, what now ?
Dear God I wanna pray
But tonight I have my doubts
When I think about those families now
If theres something we can talk about, lets talk about it
If theres something we can figure out, let's figure it out
If theres something we can talk about, lets talk about it
If theres something we can figure out, lets figure it out
