A man is dying
No eyes are crying
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
A woman is burning
No heads are turning
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
A child falls asleep
There’s no one to weep
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
Thousands are killed everyday
Toss the newspaper away
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
Johnny took a gun
Shot his friend for fun
He’s all of twenty one
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
Talking about his wife
Johnny took another life
Stabbed her with a knife
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
You were so in pain
Promised it’ll never happen again
But your promises are in vain
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
For then came Michael
And repeated the cycle
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
Now you promise more
I’ve heard it all before
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
You’re just a spectator
I’m just a narrator
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore
…
So mind your own score
Act as you’ve done before
A death doesn’t make a difference anymore

This is sad but so true
