Any channel you choose, it's breaking news
What's going on? Who is this john?
What do we got? Folks have been shot
Oh not again, hope it's not my friends
And just when you feel safe and sound
A kid loads up another round
And then he gets a lick of fame
Disregard all the victims and remember his name
And it's so hard
Living in America
There's nothing we can do to prevent him to shoot
A dozen gone, he isn't done
To him it's fun, pandemonium
And years of grief, and sick beliefs
Come to ahead, in shotgun spread
John you cannot run
Time is numbered son
Cops down the block, ticking on the clock
The unaffected watch the tube
Send all the thoughts and prayers to you
Talking loud not saying anything
We disregard all the victims and remember his name
And it's no fun
Living in America
Where it's a constant threat, cause we are still paying a debt
He's striking fear, we're shedding tears
This time the mall, he's standing tall
Before you die, we must ask why
But you'll never know, cause it's all for show
Just when you thought you were safe and sound
Another shooting is winding down
Turn off the news, the slate is clean
Disregard all the victims and remember John's name
And it's so hard
Living in America
There's nothing we could to prevent him to shoot
