Shooting Waste

Shooting Waste Stepped away from the water's edge Though darkness surrounded me, I heard no siren call Cleared my head and reminded myself Without your word, I wouldn't be here at all Though everyone is turning everything inside out It's way beyond a doubt, they don't need to see me fall With every whisper, with every scream and shout My safety net is torn and my back's against the wall Idle eyes can't see you build your faith Don't knock them over Don't lead it to an empty place Don't idolise, build up your faith Don't tell me that it's over Don't leave with an empty space Have you heard about the news today There was another killing, another shooting waste When you step back, see the error of your ways The part you played, the lives you could've saved Have you even read the news today Yet another killing, another shooting waste If you'd only step back see the error of your ways The part you played, the lives you could've saved Climbed on up to the higher ground Though echoes come and go, there was nowhere to fall With open hearts we couldn't bear the sound The crying of the children, the terror of it all Words & Music - Dave Bradley Vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar bass, percussion mixing, and autotuned electric guitar - Dave Bradley Produced and mastered by Dave Bradley Song title inspiration from Ted via Jo ;-)
