Deadliest school shooting since Sandy Hook
On Valentine's Day yesterday in Florida, it tore legs
It’s 5:30 AM, the news has been on since I've been home
Since one o'clock in the morning
I’ve been wakin' up every hour or so, lookin' at the CNN TV glow
Came home, opened my email
My friend Kevin asked, "How are you processing this?"
I said I was in the studio gettin' ready to sing
Then the drummer walked in and said, "Hey, did you see this?"
I said, "What?"
He said, "Looks like another high school shooting"
I said, "Where?"
He said, "Looks like it happened about an hour north of Miami"
I said, "How many?"
He said, "It looks like fourteen, or something"
I told Kevin, from that point on
My band discussed it for maybe 20 minutes
Donny said, "Why don't they just get rid of the guns
Like they did in Australia?"
I sat there befuddled and said, "I don't know what to tell ya
But the Republicans like having their right to bear arms
Even if it blows kids off the planet
They spend rest of their lives without their legs and arms
The Republicans believe in their right to bear arms
No matter the rising death toll
And the amount of harm it causes to innocent people
They have their right to bear arms"
And, honestly, from that point on, we picked up our instruments
I got three musicians out here from New York
And we're here to play music, and they were on the clock
So until I got home tonight and saw your email
All the thoughts about the Florida shooting, I blocked
