[Intro]
No more
No more
No more
No more, yeah
[Verse 1]
Look at the young
Covered in blood, only silence
What’s to be done?
They load up the guns, only violence
Sick of the good dying first
Too many more than it’s worth
How many mothers
Mourning our brothers in silence?
[Refrain]
Can we?
[Verse 2]
Murder machine, death is routine
What’s the reason?
Dance over graves
Lay bombs like bouquets while we’re grieving
Tell me the truth, though it hurts
We live in a world and it’s cursed
But our generation will have separation
We’re fearless
[Chorus]
Can we disarm the loaded gun?
Can we survive what we’ve become?
The hate is slowly choking me
American aggression for free
(Can we?)
[Verse 3]
I’ve got this feeling in my soul
We’ve never really had control
I bet they’re digging out my hole
Six feet for every word we spoke
My eyes holding the line
Waiting for time to take my life, but
What in this world could justify
If the liars they feed are killing?
[Chorus]
Can we disarm the loaded gun?
Can we survive what we’ve become?
The hate is slowly choking me
American aggression for free
[Refrain]
(Can we? Can we?)
I’ve got this feeling in my soul
We never really had control
I bet they’re digging out my hole
(Can we?)
I’ve got this feeling in my soul
We’ve never really had control
I bet they’re digging out my hole
Well come and get me!
[Chorus]
Can we disarm the loaded gun?
Can we survive what we’ve become?
The hate is slowly choking me
American aggression for free
[Outro]
American aggression for free
(Can we?)
Yeah
(Can we?)
