Lyrics

Momma said don't cry, it'll be okay
Don't mind the soldiers coming here to stay
Just close your eyes, I'll carry you away
In a duffle bag, two curly head kids make a getaway

The night was dark and the sky ablaze
Gunpowder and white flashes screamed

They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire

We find comfort coloring on forgotten kitchen walls
Hiding out in bathroom stalls, never minding our battle scars
When it's all over, the uncertain future is ours

The twilight wept through dusk the way we did
What did we know? We were all just kids

They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire

I imitate the sounds like a game
Boom, boom, boom the bombs blow
Run, run, run away we go
Ready, aim, fire -flashes of light blind our eyes
The stench of lives lost choked an already dim sky

They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire

They opened fire
They opened fire
They opened fire
