The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Shelter in place
No one escapes
Shelter in place
If they gave AKs to the gays
Then the NRA would pay to dismantle them
If everyone in Compton had an AR-15
The LAPD would be attacking them
Well guns don’t kill people, people kill people
So why you worried about atomic weapons?
Let’s repeal every rule, every law, every tool
That kept us safe after 9/11
Shelter in place
No one escapes
Shelter in place
If every student was wounded in another mass shooting
Politicians would still be making excuses
With blood on their hands and blood on their suits
Counting blood money and licking their boots
Of the NRA whose vomiting promises for a whiter day
So they keep you terrified so you obey
Stupidity and vice
Feeding you like a beggar feeds his lice
Like worms crawling across a corpse
Politicians stuffing their pockets full of blood money
But we’re not taking it anymore
Yeah, enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Come on
Hey, hey, NRA
How many kids did you kill today?
Hey, hey, NRA
How many kids did you kill today?
Hey, hey, NRA
How many kids did you kill today?
Hey, hey, NRA
How many kids did you kill today?
How many kids did you kill today?
How many kids did you kill today?
How many kids did you kill today?
How many kids did you kill today?
How many kids did you kill today?
