lyrics

Someone was killed by the church last night
Was it you? Was it you?
I heard sirens, screams and running feet
Was it you? Was it you?
There's nothing on the news and I can't find you
You were last seen walking in the neighbourhood
My ears are ringing with a siren song
Will you sing along?

We can panic or we can pray
That the person standing next to you
Won't kill you today
Put your weapons down, get on the ground
And the person standing next to you
Might just do the same, might do the same

Someone drew a face on an ambulance
Last night. Last night
They drew it in the mud on the rear windscreen
Last night. Last night
A crowd of people trying to see the view
But no one will tell me if they can see you
My eyes are blinded by a flashing blue
I'm blinded and I can't see you...

I'm gonna call it 'slacker pop'. Seems apt.
