[Chorus]
In a mad man's world
Happens every day
I don’t understand
Why the rules can't change
I don't wanna be a moment of silence
I don’t wanna be an early grave
When I'm walking through the halls
I don't wanna be brave
I just wanna be safe

[Verse 1]
We were just looking for a good time
Now it's goodbyes for no reason
Every day gun season
Breathin' was uneven
People down on knees and
Everything was a blur
Can't tell you where he was
But I remember where we were
(Look)
Lately we can't even have our past times
We leave our homes and wonder if it'll be our last time

[Pre-Chorus]
If I die before I wake
Please forgive all my mistakes
Know that I was gonna stand for
Something, something, something
I’ve got so much life to live
And I’ve got so much love to give
Please don't take it all for nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
In a mad man’s world
Happens every day
I don't understand
Why the rules can't change
I don't wanna be a moment of silence
I don’t wanna be an early grave
When I'm walking through the halls
I don't wanna be brave
I just wanna be safe

[Verse 2]
Politicians only slight work
Tell me what is my life worth
Mamas look at babies saying bye while they in diapers
Used to be afraid of snipers
Boogie Man, Pied Piper
Now we in the street afraid of rifles
They end up in the wrong hands
Say we shouldn't ban all
Does the right to bear arms trump the fight to stand tall
Cause the money, greenest foliage in cemeteries
People up in power cool with laws remaining sedentary
Think I've had enough of it
I'm just putting up with it
We gotta make a difference
We won't let them take another kid
I'm done with it
[Pre-Chorus]
If I die before I wake
Please forgive all my mistakes
Know that I was gonna stand for
Something, something, something
I've got so much life to live
And I've got so much love to give
Please don't take it all for nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing

[Chorus]
In a mad man's world
Happens every day
I don't understand
Why the rules can't change
I don't wanna be a moment of silence
I don't wanna be an early grave
When I'm walking through the halls
I don't wanna be brave
I just wanna be safe
