The Blood, It Runs
Music by Seth Adam
Lyrics by Seth Adam
© 2022 Seth Adam, BMI

Another story for the day
contemporary news
Someone shot their gun again
Someone got to choose
to take a life not of their own
take somebody’s breath
A second for the bullet
is a lifetime for the rest

But it’s too soon to talk about tomorrow
And it’s too soon to talk about today
When they all fall down folding one by one
The blood it runs from all the damage that’s been done
Fuck your guns

You say to me just let it go
it’s a goddamn right
Offer up your thoughts and prayers
Habitual replies
“Be silent in the moment, son
the Lord will help you see”
Yeah, I tried to talk to Jesus
but he ain’t listening

But it’s too soon to talk about tomorrow
And it’s too soon to talk about today
When they all fall down folding one by one
The blood it runs from all the damage that’s been done
Fuck your guns

Where is the solution?
What is the compromise?
Politicians take the cash
yet say their hands are tied
While mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
pray for empathy
The culture of the violent
Propagandize their beliefs
