Aus Rotten - Who's Calling The Shots? Lyrics
Living in fear as American culture imitates what it seesShooting sprees are on the rise, proof courtesy of the television screensWill you lock yourself in your home and just hide,Or go out and play God with a gun at your side?Becoming a target or arming yourselfYou're a victim of fear either wayLiving in paranoia on the defenseOr taking the chance of being gunned down one daySo who's pulling the trigger, who's calling the shots?Who is it that's controlling our fate?We're all responsible for the environment we've createdWhere none of us will ever be safeHere comes the headlines and here comes the tearsThe media feeding us our greatest fearsWe see the horrifying images again and againChildren are being murdered by childrenWe just accept this as tragedies of lifeWhat does this say about us?When will we seek out some genuine solutions?And show that we've all had enough?Becoming a target or arming yourselfYou're a victim of fear either wayLiving in paranoia on the defenseOr taking the chance of being gunned down one daySo who's pulling the trigger, who's calling the shots?Who is it that's controlling our fate?We're all responsible for the environment we've createdWhere none of us will ever be safeAs political experts discuss and debateWho it is that's responsible for al of this hateThey're building their political platforms on a pile of corpsesPointing their fingers and quoting us sourcesScapegoating is too easy for society's decayEntertainment, music, drugs or the N.R.A.What will it accomplish to pass stricter lawsWhen it's actually our apathy that's a much greater cause?As long as we leave our apathy aliveWe're killing our children's chances to surviveOur idealistic intentions are wrapped in a shroudThe responsibility rests with what we've allowedA society that taught us to kill or be killedConvinced that this is the only way to be fulfilledI just hope that we realize before it's too lateThat we ultimately control our community's fateBecoming a target or arming yourselfYou're a victim of fear either wayLiving in paranoia on the defenseOr taking the chance of being gunned down one daySo who's pulling the trigger, who's calling the shots?Who is it that's controlling our fate?We're all responsible for the environment we've createdWhere none of us will ever be safe
