It's suddenly not Ok to politely ask someone to keep the noise down or to stop jumping up and down on your car or taking your wallet and your mobile off you.

It Couldn't happen here

Sweet bouquets lie among the gore
And there's more blood to spill for sure
Many more lives will be snuffed out
And prematurely without doubt.
Is it gang culture that's to blame
I wish that someone would explain
What is this cheapening of lives
Why do we carry guns and knives.

Chorus
The perpetrators are protected
That seems to be oh too clear
This loyalties so misdirected
As it's just born out of fear
What is there left to save I'll tell you
Everything that we hold dear
You know that it's really not true
To say it couldn't happen here.

Statistics rise with every day
See one more son get blown away
The loving family don't see why
Their precious one has had to die
A Mother hangs her head alone
Another husband won't come home
A baby's lost his brothers' smile
Another name gets put on file.

Rpt. Chorus, then:-
Has your son been hit by a gun
Was he left within an inch of his life
Are you tired of wearing the scar
Carved on your face by somebodys' knife?
Rpt.
Rpt Chorus.
