SHELL SHOCKED
by Duane Anzalone c 2004

Missing in a action
On a bright summer?s day
They went up on cables
And just blew away
There wasn?t very much here
That anyone could say
About the way that the shells fly
And turn our hearts gray

And now we?re all shell shocked
Don?t know who to blame
For the way that our world rocked
To this sick little game
Where guns are the answer
In god?s holy name
And we?re all shell shocked
Life won?t be the same

This feeling has made it
Hard to sleep here tonight
I struggle with visions
Of airplanes in flight
I can?t feel my eyes
Through the dust and the tears
All I feel in my heart
Is sorrow and fear

And now we?re all shell shocked
Don?t know who to blame
For the way that our world rocked
To this sick little game
Where guns are the answer
In god?s holy name
And we?re all shell shocked
Life won?t be the same

I wish I could stop now
And put my pen down
Pretend that I?m sleeping
And I don?t hear that sound
The deafening silence
All over town
When will we learn how
To put our guns down?

And now we?re all shell shocked
Don?t know who to blame
For the way that our world rocked
To this sick little game
Where guns are the answer
In god?s holy name
And now we?re all shell shocked
Don?t know who to blame
And we?re all shell shocked
Life won?t be the same
And we?re all shell shocked
In god?s holy name
