Lyrics:
He was just one more dead on a long long list of names Fifteen-year-old Ronald Timbers was buried under dirt and blame A mother needing help instead a trigger-happy system took aim Took the life of her child and gave no answers To the questions of force used with lethal intention Could their cruel intervention Be justified to the family or the further community? In Philadelphia there's a mural of a fallen cop It's making the news some local youth got their hands on some cans Let loose with the spray paint now they got to be stopped It's true the violent loss of a life is always such tragedy But the city don't honor those that it's killing So forgive our frustrations at these gross violations Their rationalization of killing doesn't wash with me it's true We bury our dead now At the funerals the heads bow Across the land a war ensues It's on the streets No justice or peace We die on our knees It's a critical need we have for restraint And those guns aren't their right so take away their weapons He was just one more dead on a long long list of names
