The flags above my country are at half-staff once again 
And we're burying our children and their teachers and their friends 
Hey, our law enforcement got him, and he only murdered ten 
But the flags above my country are at half-staff once again 

The flags above my country are at half-staff every day 
And the folks who hold the power seem to have nothing to say 
They just send their thoughts and prayers up to protect the NRA 
So the flags above my country are at half-staff every day 

You can leave the flags at half-staff it will save us all some time 
We can skip right to the part where we say this is God's design 
As we scroll the names and faces that were cut down in their prime 

The flags above my country should be upside down today 
The risk to life and property we cannot pray away
And no good guy with a gun can stop a nation led astray 
The flags above my country should be upside down today
