The morning after
Across the street there’s a shrine
The corner store’s got a new awning
And the sun finally decided to shine
And there’s some crazy evangelist saying
Bridgeport, Jesus loves you
And the newspapers got a couple of lines
A lot of people don’t know what to do
The kids at the school two blocks from here
What do they think when they walk by that corner
Do they know, are they scared, do they want to shoot back
Is life just like death, you gotta die to be born
A thousand years from now
Will we all be higher off the ground
Will cars fly and houses change color
Or will we all be six feet down
Just how many bullets
How many kids is it going to take
How many more obituaries
Before we see what’s at stake
