lyrics

There’s been a shooting in my hometown, just the other day.
There’s been a shooting in my hometown, what else can I say?
There’s been a shooting in my hometown, it’s made me wanna stay away.

When I picked up that phone and made that call home, I wished my mom would answer and say…
Baby we’re all right, there’s no worries tonight, but damn that wasn’t the case…

There’s been a shooting in my hometown, just like any another day.
There’s been a shooting in my hometown, I hope them folks are okay.
There’s been a shooting in my hometown, now people look down and pray.

When I picked up that phone and made that call home, I wished my mom would answer and say…
Baby we’re all right, there’s no worries tonight, but damn that wasn’t the case…

She said things ain’t changed and it’s getting ugly.
We live on a shooting range and I’m alive because I’m lucky.
Most of our neighbors are blind deff and dumb.
I’m moving far away and telling no one where I’m from.

There’s been a shooting in my hometown, and people don’t know who to blame.
There’s been a shooting in my hometown, and things just aint the same.
Peace is what I want but I don’t know if I’ll see the day.

Los and the Deadlines London, UK

The seedy underbelly of any major city spawns some of the most depraved and morally reprehensible bastards that even the dregs of civilization look down upon. These cretins walk amongst us, they ask you for money, they serve you drinks, they file your taxes, and in this case; they formed a band. ... more
