No Safe Places

(Kurt Baty)

An incisive look into the ineptness of our leaders in the immediate aftermath of mass shootings. "No Safe Places" astutely observes the gun culture climate; the senseless blame game; and the absurd solutions of the G.O.P. that inevitably follows.

 Students rushing
 cross school grounds
 suspect fires another
 dozen rounds

 Children huddle
 in barricades
 reporters hurry
 policemen wait

 Duck and Cover
 Shelter in Place
 parents don't cross
 the yellow tape

 Chorus: Twenty-eight wounded
 Fourteen dead 
 our children's halls
 are spilling red

 Twenty-eight wounded 
 Fourteen dead
 no safe places 
 only prayers instead

 Instrumental:

 It's the immigrants
 it's dark-skinned ones
 it's about everything
 but the guns

 Open carry
 closed off minds
 it's only 
 a matter of time

 Arm the teachers
 arm the nuns
 arm bartenders 
 in the clubs

 Repeat Chorus: Twenty-eight wounded
 Fourteen dead
 our children's halls 
 are spilling red

 Twenty-eight wounded
 Fourteen dead
 no safe places
 only prayers instead 

 Bridge: It's the access
 it's the guns
 why are we 
 the only ones?

 It's the access
 it's the guns
 why are we 
 the only ones?
