Perfect Way to Die

Lyrics

Your rage is real Your rage is earned But I will not let you let it defeat you I will not allow you to let the pain win Simple walk to the corner store Mama never thought she would be getting a call from the coroner Said her son's been gunned down, been gunned down "Can you come now?" Tears in her eyes, "Can you calm down? Please, ma'am, can you calm down?" It rained fire in the city that day, they say River of blood in the streets No love in the streets But then came silеnce from the city that day, they say Just anothеr one gone And the city moved on And she's stuck there, singing "Baby, don't you close your eyes 'Cause this could be our final time And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye And I think of all you could've done At least you'll stay forever young I guess you picked the perfect way to die Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die" New job, new city, new her Bright-eyed, you would have been proud if you knew her Flashing lights in the mirror Pull over, pull over A couple nights in detention and it's over A whole life's over They came marching in the city that day, they say Carrying signs in the streets Crying eyes in the streets But they heard nothing from the city that day, they say Just another one gone And the city moved on And we're stuck here singing "Baby, don't you close your eyes 'Cause this could be our final time And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye When I think of all you could've done At least you'll stay forever young I guess you picked the perfect way to die Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die" Another dream lost Another king and queen lost Another broken promise they refuse to make right Another night to live in fear Oh, another night that you're not here Another reason to get out there and fight But I said, "Baby, don't you close your eyes 'Cause this could be our final time And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye And I think of all you could've done At least you'll stay forever young I guess you picked the perfect way to die Oh, I guess you picked the perfect..." Sit, play
