Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Textbook torn in half Little hands hide the bruise She says she tripped again Teacher stares Has to choose Hallway walls stay quiet Everyone hears that sound Sirens in her notebook She keeps scribbling them out [Chorus] Who’s gonna guard the kids from the guards When the ones with the badges break our hearts You say “safe at home ” but the doors don’t lock We’re shouting at the sky till the echoes stop You write your laws Then you tear us apart Who’s gonna guard the kids from the guards [Verse 2] Blue lights at the playground Guns out by the swings They call it “keeping order” While they cut off every wing Mama signs the papers Hands shaking at the line They say “it’s for protection” But they never read her eyes [Chorus] Who’s gonna guard the kids from the guards When the ones with the badges break our hearts You say “safe at home ” but the doors don’t lock We’re shouting at the sky till the echoes stop You write your laws Then you tear us apart Who’s gonna guard the kids from the guards [Bridge] I don’t want your silence I don’t want your speech I want every broken promise Spray-painted on your streets If justice is sleeping We’re kicking in the dark Name by name by name Till you feel every mark (every mark) [Chorus] Who’s gonna guard the kids from the guards When the ones with the power play God You say “safe at home ” but the doors don’t lock We’re burning every script that you ever taught You write your laws We’ll rewrite the stars Who’s gonna guard the kids from the guards

Choruses explode with wide distorted guitars, soaring lead vocal, and gang shouts on key phrases. Bridge drops to a single clean guitar and voice, then a final, bigger chorus with stacked harmonies and a sharp, clipped ending., pop rock
