about

"There are too many guns and not enough regulation. No one wants to take your guns. They just want to limit your ammunition and maybe make sure that your mental health is in order. It's maddening.
Inspired by recent events in Nashville, but sadly it could be inspired by way too many current events."

--David Sparrow

lyrics

If I’m not mistaken, this foundation is breaking
There’s cracks in the ceiling and cracks on the floor
So big you can see through, and outside they see you
Know they’re just waiting with their ears to the ground
If these walls start collapsing don’t want your thoughts and prayers
They don’t get me anywhere

Our minds are made up and we don’t discuss much
There’s cracks in our feelings and our hearts are at war
No capital “T” truth, respect don’t have much use
Instead of us building we’re tearing it down
As these walls start collapsing don’t want your thoughts and prayers
They don’t get me anywhere

The clock is ticking but no one is listening
No bang and no whimper, history closes it’s doors
And no news but bad news at least that’s what they tell you
It’s time to speak up but we’re not making a sound
The walls have collapsed and I can’t use your thoughts and prayers
They couldn’t get you anywhere
No, they don’t get me anywhere
