about

This song is about a real conversation with a family member after they survived one of the now countless mass shootings in the United States. This event was at the festival in Las Vegas, NV. I could still hear the fear in his voice. The lyrics recount the horror of being under attack by a domestic terrorist and calls out the multi-billion dollar gun lobbies that pay for our politicians to do nothing to protect the American people in the name of weapons sales, who also feed the weak-dicked right-wing fear-mongering populism that too many idiots believe in; that the government is coming to take the guns away from law-abiding citizens. All while their fellow Americans die.

lyrics

I saw the muzzle flash and it was above us
there we were fish in a barrel under fully automatic gunfire

She's never seen so much as even family in death
there we were, nowhere to go
saw someone take one to the chest
the sound so close I thought it came from the street
we laid down, no shelter
then I saw, then I saw

I saw the muzzle flash and it was above us
there we were, fish in a barrel under fully automatic gunfire

Then came the worst realization that there's nowhere to go
and in our desperate seconds that felt like hours
we waited for him to reload to make a run for it
to make a run for it, can't make a run for it
fifty-eight died from it, while hundreds bled from it
scarred from, not safe from...
he's got us in his sights, finds us in his aim
let eleven hundred go and

I saw the muzzle flash and it was above us
there we were, fish in a barrel under fully automatic gunfire

run, run , run, RUN

Still they cave and get paid from the banks of
of the motherfuckin NRA
line their coffers and campaign on the graves of
on the graves of those who are slain
thoughts and prayers all they say when the cameras
hit the lights on election day
Bill of Rights, Bill of Rights hides you cowards
in the end be dragged to shame!
