Lower the Flag Bon Jovi

[Verse 1]
Word just came from upstate, Joe
Lower the flag again
This time, it's Dayton, southwest Ohio
Last night, El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead

[Verse 2]
Soon, the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers
Soon, there'll be protests in the street
And the media from out of town will chew it up and spit it out
And move on to the next one before we even grieve
Yeah, they'll move on to the next one before we even grieve

[Chorus]
Some say we start to die on the day that we're born
But no one wants to live life on their knees
Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born
But we deserve to live life in-between

[Verse 3]
A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie's name
And promises he'll see her once again
Won't see her children grow, won't 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
