Shot 'Em
Reflections on Society: The Damning Truth Revealed
Lyrics
We used to raise our fists to fight for what was right.
We used to stand up and fight for what we believed was just and right.
Now we close our eyes and block out the light
Now, we choose to ignore the truth and avoid facing reality.
It's a funny little thing
There's a peculiar and ironic aspect to the situation being described.
