Mamas pack their lunches, kiddies pack their guns
Wishin' it will go away, but nothings getting done
A shot heard 'round the world, when a mother's baby dies
We the people point our fingers, blame and wonder whyFace it and fight or turn high tail and run
'Til it comes back again just like the risin' sun
Say, "They do all they can", it's just another lie
The answer's plain to see, nobody, nobody wants to tryThere's no recess and no rules in the school of life
And if you listen very closely
You'll see what it's like
Have cool, will travelThere's no recess and no rules in the school of life
And if you listen very closely you'll see what it's like
Tell myself it ain't true, they just cannot see
I'm grown up or sewn up, the medicine's worse than the disease
I have cool, will travel, here we go
Have cool, will travel, have cool, will travel
