LyricsSend Books Not BulletsSend Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets I'm going old school So you can hear what I say No auto-tune filter to get in your way I'm gonna speak clearly, (understand what I say?) It's our time now (Already tried it your way) Ronnie D. has to have his say Banning and burning through books Oy Vey He's got Men in Black that will take you away The sunshine States looking dark today I saw a protest, just the other day Young blood, with a message to say He carried a sign to simply convey Books not bullets nothing more to say Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Congress, did you come to play We need good legislation not the NRA Congress, We can here what you say Teachers need bullets, that'll save the day More guns, more bullets, that's what you say I think Congress needs a lesson From NWA Teachers, we can here what you say You don't need bullets got enough on your plates Teachers have problems each and every day Send books not bullets, and a raise in pay Send books not bullets To every school Send books not bullets You damn fools Send books not bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Goooooooooooood morning, Warriors! Principal Good Man here with our daily reminder: In an active shooter situation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends the following: Run If possible, attempt to evacuate the premises Hide If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you Fight As a last resort, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter Wait a minute, WHAT (hang on a second) So instead of reasonable legislation, we're teaching our children to dodge bullets Send books not bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Send Books Not Bullets Books not bullets No need for alarm Books not bullets It'll do no harm Books not bullets Why you want us dead Books not bullets Aimed at our heads Books not bullets It's common sense Books not bullets How can you be so dense Books not bullets Have you no shame Books not bullets It's not a damn game I'm afraid of Americans, I heard it on the radio I'm afraid of Americans, Just checking out a weekend show Books not bullets School is ground zero Books not bullets Just lookin for a hero We should deal a death blow By putting guns on death row And sending Books not bullets |
