Silence Can Kill (For Boulder) Lyrics by Becoming Young

2023

Ten people killed
People running for their lives
We got people down inside King Soopers
There's a shooter, active shooter, get away!
We’re turning numb
We're digging graves
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing to say?
10 lives in my hometown grocery store
We used to shop there when I was four
Bright-eyed, innocent child
Never would'vе thought I’d lose a friend in the cеreal aisle
How many times does somebody have to die
Until we understand semiautomatics don't save lives
They take them
And people who need help
Keep turning to guns to rebel
Second amendment came from the 1700s
When they didn't even sell semi-automatic weapons
It's time to change
It can't wait
We need gun reform and an end to the NRA
Across the aisle, we all know it's true
And yet we've done nothing
Divided by red and blue
I've had enough of politics and games
We can’t let our neighbors keep dying in vain
We’re turning numb
We're digging graves
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing to say?
It’s time we step up
Before it's too late
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing to say?
Parents aren't meant to bury their kids
You shouldn't have to conceal a gun to buy potato chips
Or see a movie
Or go to school
With every shooting, our country looks like it’s run by fools
Obsessed with capitalism
Losing lives but we're numb to a system
Where corporations make billions selling guns
With no purpose other than shedding human blood
Ask any gun expert
You don't need an AR15 to hunt
They're only used to spread fear and rage
And to earn blood money for the NRA
In our heart of hearts, we all know it's true
And yet, we've done nothing
Divided by red and blue
I've had enough of politics and games
We can't let our neighbors keep dying in vain
We're turning numb
We're digging graves
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing to say?
It's time we step up
Before it's too late
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing…
Jody Waters, Officer Eric Talley
Will we remember their names?
Lynn Murray, Teri Leiker, Denny Strong, Tralona Bartkowiak, Neven Stanisic, Rikki Olds, Kevin Mahoney, Suzanne Fountain…
Oh, Father, when will we change?
We're turning numb
We're digging graves
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing to say?
It's time we step up
Before it's too late
Silence can kill
Have we got nothing to say?
Have we got nothing to say
Have we got nothing to say
Father tell me, when will we change?
