Coming Home Late

Don\'t worry baby
I\'ll be coming home late
I\'m just running errands
So, I\'ll see you at 8

 

Then they need me at work
We\'ve been falling behind
Ayesha would be by herself
Left to hang on the line

 

Oh tell me did you hear about
the nine-year-old girl?
She was out running errands
And lost her whole world

 

They found her lifeless body
Just a block from her home
Now they\'ve locked her daddy up
To see what he knows

 

But don\'t worry baby
I\'ll be coming home soon
There\'s only a few things
I\'ve got left to do

 

We\'ve been so caught up here
With the usual shit
Ashley is how Ashley is
So I\'m dealing with it

 

Oh tell me did you hear though
That the teachers in Texas
Will lay down their own lives
Before those meant to protect us?

 

For members of a community
They\'re just sorry excuses
To turn a school to a combat zone
Tell me what that produces

 

More madness and abuses
All this chaos just introduces
Another two thousand necks
Slipping into nooses

 

Every damn day more contributions
All this chaos to no conclusion
Another poor ass in the chair
Suffers electrocution

 

Tell me baby what does it mean
When an innocent life gets caught between
A madman with a rifle
And her everyday scene?

 

I grieve for my sister
and I grieve for my brother
I\'ve grieved for so many
I can\'t grieve for another

 

But don\'t worry baby
I\'m on my way out
But I admit I may forget
What it\'s all about

 

No, don\'t worry baby
The world is a mess
I confess it may be too late
But I\'m on my way
