This is a song I wrote addressing school shootings in the US. The United States has far more school shootings than any other country. Between 2009 and 2018, the U.S. recorded 288 school shootings, while the next highest country (Mexico) had only 8. In fact, the U.S. has had dozens of times more incidents than all other high-income nations combined. Something needs to change.

LYRICS:

Like a pervert on a crowded bus the glare of love bears down on us Like a carcass left out in the heat this love is bursting out of me 

Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And a love that lasts forever really can’t be that special
Sure we know our roles
And how it’s supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told? 

Like an oil tanker tipped at sea this love’s contaminated me
Like a constant twitching in my eye this love of ours will never die 

Disappointing diamonds are the rarest of them all
And the love that lasts forever really can’t be that special
Sure we know our roles
How it’s supposed to go
Does everybody have to be the greatest story ever told?
