Hear laughter in the hallways, ringing.
Children in their innocence, singing.
Wondering not of the years, but what the day will bring.
He's stalking through their hallways, raging.
Carrying his anger and hatred.
Misguided by his blind resolve to act upon this deed.
Slow down, wait a minute, think of all the lives you're taking.
Slow down wait a minute, think of all the trust you're breaking.
Slow down, wait a minute, can't you feel the ground that's shaking?
Slow down, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Mmm.
You're speaking to the masses now, preaching
Patience 'til the news report reaches
Another grim catastrophe that guides the sheep.
It happens on our tv screens to them.
It happens on our city streets to them.
But what about the violence ends? You silence them. Deny them their dignity.
And I wish that you would slow down, wait a minute, think of all the lives you're taking.
Slow down wait a minute, think of all the trust you're breaking.
Slow down, wait a minute, can't you feel the ground that's shaking?
Slow down, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Mmm.
Slow down, wait a minute, think of all the lives you're taking.
Slow down wait a minute, think of all the trust you're breaking.
Slow down, wait a minute, can't you feel the ground that's shaking?
Slow down, wait a minute, wait a minute, Hm.
Slow down, wait a minute, it's a seismic shift we're facing.
Slow down, wait a minute, can you see the lives they're taking?
Slow down, wait a minute, let's a void the victim blaming.
Slow down, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Won't you slow down, wait a minute, think of all the lives you're taking?
Slow down, wait a minute, think of all the trust you're breaking.
Slow down, wait a minute, can't you feel the ground that's shaking?
Slow down, wait a minute, wait a minute wait a minute.
Slow down, wait a minute, it's a seismic shift we're facing.
Slow down, wait a minute, can you see the lives they're taking?
Slow down, wait a minute, let's avoid the victim blaming.
Slow down, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute..
