They were picking up the bodies on TV
When I caught a reflection of you and me
Staring back at us while frozen on the screen
Crank the white noise and pretend that we're asleep
That we're asleep
Dream, dream, dream. dream
They were separating families carelessly
Under the guise of protecting you and me
Jailing innocents, no hope of being free
Crank the white noisе and pretend that we'rе asleep
That we're asleep
Dream, dream, dream, dream
They were lining up the unsuspecting teens
For a violent moment of celebrity
Golden bullets blessed by lobbyist money
Splash a tidal wave of blood into your stream
Weaponizing what's left of your empathy
Trapped inside a void that zeroes out the screams
It's not a dream, it's not a dream
It's not a dream, it's not a dream

What can we do?

Nothing more to see here, y'all
Good night, start heading towards the exit
Nothing more to see here, y'all
Good night, start heading towards the exit
Nothing more to see here, y'all
Good night, start heading towards the exit
Nothing more to see here, y'all
Good night, start heading towards the exit
Fuck violence
