about

Original track from Portland Oregon's The Fauxriginals.

lyrics

Chris was thinking of himself yea
Ignoring his health yea
Maybe treat himself to Taco Bell yea
Tell me what's the worst thing that could possibly go wrong

Speaking calorically and even metaphorically this choice could be the death of him
But He never thought that He'd get shot today
Bang bang

It isn't safe to open up the front door of your house
It isn't safe to take a walk even in the daylight
It isn't safe to be alive or even die today
In a normal way

Because

Now days more bullets fly
Than the seconds that tick on by
Good riddance to the girls and guys
Who make it dangerous to be alive

Three year old Betty wanted a confetti
Birthday cake for her birthday party
Mommy wants to make sure it's her special day
A quick trip to the store ended in a shit storm now she has six more holes than before
All because she was in the wrong place at the worst of times.

It isn't safe to wander from the comforts of your home
It isn't safe to stay there either when you're all alone
It isn't safe to be alive or even die today
In a usual way

Can't even go to the park the bank or dmv
For fear a psychopath is waiting there for me
My clothes aren't bullet proof
What kind of fucked up youth
Made you
Want to
Reload and...

It isn't safe to literally do almost anything
It isn't safe to take a breath or even smile at a stranger
It isn't safe to be alive or even die today
In the good old fashioned way
