You call them soldiers, I call them friends
From different countries, I've never met
You call them heroes after they die
After you pay them, and steal lives

You call it high school but all I learned
Is that there's something wrong with the earth
And all our politics, are just a dirty trick
to keep us feeling sick, and keep us arguing

Your bullets and your stones
can pierce right through my bones
But this heart remains my own
and I will always have control

When our friends begin to die
the only truth they leave behind
Is that the devil holds their throats
Only heaven holds their souls, so don't let go

Our generation needs education
About creation, not separation
We are the nation, on medication
Our population built on hesitation

See back in high school I never was cool
Until I chose to, just do what I do
I skipped my classes, put on my glasses
And wrote my love songs
'til I could find some sunshine in the rain
A way to stop my pain, and now I understand
That my pain was in their plan

When our friends begin to die
the only truth they leave behind
Is that the devil holds their throats
Only heaven holds their souls, so don't let go

See when all is said and done
We will burn into the sun
And the moon will shine upon
The distant earth that it once loved
The stars will sing a song
For all the humans who got lost inside themselves

And left the whole wide world to burn in hell
