Why Chris Carries a Knife

Are you ready? For some rock and roll

Masked gunman storm the shores of our USA
Insurgents ravage innocence and the hope
Of brighter days

Every time you ask why a mother cries
Let it run through the streets
As red as it used to be

When children fight for their own lives
I'm sorry I don't find that free

It don't matter, no it's okay
We can't do anything anyway
It don't matter, no it's okay
We can't do anything anyway

We won't bother, no we'll decay
Blame it on Ignorance, the American way

Let it run through the streets
As red as it used to be
When children fight for their own lives
I'm sorry I don't find that free

A nation so intrigued by
The violence that we televise
Is there any wonder why we carry knives

We watch our brothers die, on primetime,
every night

Let it run through the streets
As red as it used to be
When children fight for their own lives
I'm sorry I don't find that free
