High School

You call them soldiers, I call them friends From different countries, I've never met You call them heroes after they die After you pay them, and steal lives You call it high school but all I learned Is that there's something wrong with the earth And all our politics, are just a dirty trick to keep us feeling sick, and keep us arguing Your bullets and your stones, can pierce right through my bones But this heart remains my own, and I will always have control When our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind Is that the devil holds their throats Only heaven holds their souls, so don't let go Our generation needs education About creation, not separation We are the nation, on medication Our population built on hesitation See back in high school I never was cool Until I chose to, just do what I do I skipped my classes, put on my glasses And wrote my love songs, 'til I could find some sunshine in the rain A way to stop my pain, and now I understand That my pain was in their plan When our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind Is that the devil holds their throats Only heaven holds their souls, so don't let go See when all is said and done We will burn into the sun And the moon will shine upon The distant earth that it once loved The stars will sing a song For all the humans who got lost inside themselves And left the whole wide world to burn in hell
