Video Games with Real Guns Lyrics

When the wrecking ball makes all come down
When you’re standing in your destroyed town
You take picture on your phone
Send it to the drones, send it to the clones

Perhaps the pic will end up viral
Thousands will pretend they care
Your pain and grief will make you famous
But you’re still standing there, dust collecting in your hair

Till you finally start to walk away
Everywhere you go they think you’re homeless
That’s not exactly what you are though
Your home was destroyеd, and now you’ve nowhere to go

Into thе mountains where you’re looking down
See it’s happening to every town
People doing it are playing games
Video games with real guns, and don’t say it ain’t a shame

So you attempt to bring them back
To reality through desperation
They cannot see the lives they take
Sat at a desk with numbers spilling out of their hands
Your vision grows across the world
Finding its way to all the boys and girls
They spill into the streets in numbers too large to contain
But are they desperate as you?
It’s not the numbers but the drive inside
You’ve got to show them that the fight is alive
Got break the shell of protected ignorance
Expose the innocence and teach the clone how to cry
