[Verse 1]
Dateline early sunday morning
Shots ring out without a warning
No one seems to even blink in this town
Two dead and a baby missing
Sirens screaming in the distance
A mother pleading bring my baby home now
For the pink slip of an suv
A night cut down with tragedy
His defense another generation breakdown
[Chorus]
Yeah, Yeah
What is the distance between a bullet and a gun
God are you listening
Or have you just given up
[Verse 2]
Corporate countries go to war
Behind the lies they're fighting for
And black gold from an old king's soul won his round
How can someone take a life
In the name of god and say it's right
How does money lead to greed
When there's still hungry mouths to feed
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
We need forgiveness
We all need a lot of love
We need some hope
We need it now
A little faith man help me out
I'll learn to pray
But it's too late now
[Chorus][2x]
