Lyrics
Intro
As human beings,
we consider ourselves as compassionate creatures,
but what happens,
when we become desensitized to violence
and reach our empathy level? (Blackfoot)
Chorus
Resensitization
No more desensitization
Resensitization
No more desensitization (John & Caroline)
Verse 1
Disgraceful,
killing innocent,
children bleeding,
how did we let it happen?
it can’t go on,
killing each other,
senseless murder,
it’s got to stop,
it needs to stop now!
cannot go on,
this is where,
we change direction.
positivity - unity,
we cannot be broken,
we are one! (John)
Disarm (disarm),
Wilted weapons (we are one),
blossom bloom,
peaceful posies, pollinate (Caroline)
Chorus
Resensitization
No more desensitization
[News Clip]
Where are we?
Are we at the crossroads?
Are we at?
Resensitization
The end of the beginning?
are we at the beginning of doing something different?
or is the way it is?
No more desensitization (John & Caroline)
Verse 2
We are one people,
we need to stand together,
stop the violence,
stop the hatred,
smash the guns,
smash the knives.
smash the hatred! (John)
The spring of the gun,
sent them back to the earth of the dirt,
but the spring,
brings forth new birth. (Caroline)
Bring us back to reality,
the reality of the pain,
we must resensitize,
we cannot forget the pain,the pain,
the pain, (John)
Bullets ammo (no desensitization)
ammunition,
the act of contrition,
resensitization,
redemption and remorse,
chamber,
bullets,
bullets,
bullets,
no more desensitization! (John & Caroline)
Chorus
Resensitization
No more desensitization
Resensitization
No more desensitization (John & Caroline)
Outro
In 1999
at Columbine,
It was the deadliest mass school shooting in American history.
Now, gun violence,
school shootings?
gets reported on a regular basis! (Blackfoot)
When you’ve come to realize what you’ve done,
you’ll have to stand in judgement of the son.
When hell awaits you there’s no backup plan,
you must come before God and man. (Caroline)
