I still remember that night
it was the fourth of July
it's still engraved in my mind
and I'm not surprised
gang wars no guns
hand to hand
you're black I'm white
he's purple but I still don't understand
I'm going to be alright
I'm going to be okay
everything is going to be fine
back off
I want to be alone
I want to think it out
and I'm thinking that I want to go home
look who's laughing now
I'll pull it off somehow
as I passed her by
I could see her cry
and I'll never forget the look
that was in her eye
and the music you know it played
on & on & on
so will somebody tap her
on the shoulder
tell her life goes on
3 years 2 months 1 week 4 days
I'm always counting down
because there ain't no easier way
trust me you know
that I tried and if I said
it's easy then you know
I told a lie
I'm going to be alright
I'm going to be just fine
one down five billion to go
am I next in line
and do I really want to know?
