I woke up in a modern world

And there's nothing I can do

While I read the latest from the breaking

Story on the news

People swear they say it's fake

And look up to our leader

As he speaks from a mind so bleak

He preys on his believers

Everyone's bitter pointing their fingers

Seeing the worst in each other

But people are not their skin or their God

Or who they claim their lover

I think that people are made so unequal

Some are born good and some evil

And so here I pray for one single day

We can live here peaceful

The world is falling down

And nothing ever changes

One two three as the shots ring out

But nothing ever changes

The world is falling down

And nothing ever changes

We're all part of a silent crowd

'Cuz nothing ever changes

Twelve more killed at a local bar

Some were only twenty one

The N R A has bills to pay

And feeds us with more guns

So we send our thoughts and prayers

To those who lost their lives

But the cycle stays and in a couple of days

Bullets fly and a few more die

I'm not a scholar I'm not an expert

But if you fight fire with fire

I'm pretty sure it only gets worse

The flames burn even brighter

I know that I'm not alone

When I say I'm sick of the violence

Voice our anger on our phones

But in real life we're quiet

Shhh

The world is falling down

And nothing ever changes

One two three as the shots ring out

But nothing ever changes

The world is falling down

And nothing ever changes

We're all part of a silent crowd

'Cuz nothing ever changes

I hope that when I fast forward

Twenty something years

We no longer live our days in hatred or in fear

And live to be kind and free

To do unto each other

As you'd have 'em do unto you

United undercover

The world is falling down

And nothing ever changes

One two three as the shots ring out

But nothing ever changes

The world is falling down

And nothing ever changes

We're all part of a silent crowd

'Cuz nothing ever changes

The world is falling down

Nothing ever changes

The world is falling down now

'Cuz nothing ever changes

The world is falling down

Nothing ever changes

The world is falling down now

'Cuz nothing ever changes
