This is a song I wrote for the Boston Marathon |
All cameras on the finish line Runners looking for their best time A few seconds could change one’s life Murder happens in the blink of an eye Two punks fit into a crowd And they set their back-packs down As the whole world looks on Two Black eyes, Boston’s Marathon And no one seems to know why Senseless act, a coward’s life And no one seems to know why Senseless act, a coward’s life Rot in hell, rot in hell And after all the smoke clears Look in eyes, all you see is fear Mass confusion, bodies on the ground How come you didn’t hang around? Look at him in his wheelchair No more legs and you don’t care His life won’t be the same And you’re all over the front page And no one seems to know why Senseless act, a coward’s life And no one seems to know why Senseless act, a coward’s life Rot in hell, rot in hell Police go from house to house Trying to lure you tough guys out (or evil) Throwing bombs all over the place Left your brother, you’re a disgrace How do you have so much hate? Is the part we can’t relate The people that you killed today Would forgive you from their grave And no one seems to know why Senseless act, a coward’s life And no one seems to know why Senseless act, a coward’s life Rot in hell, rot in hell |
