Original Pop Song: Why Can’t We

original pop song why cant we

Original pop song Why Can’t We asks a question—can we change our course of tragic violence or will we continue to look the other way?

Writing this during the holiday season of celebrations, I thought of all those who couldn’t be with their friends and family anymore. It’s unacceptable that gun violence is a common occurrence and I hope we all can effect change.

Why Can’t We

Lyrics:

Why Can’t We

Wakes up to new elation

Runs fingers through her hair

Then quickly scrolls through texts and

Snaps an IG in the mirror

Now walking to the classroom

She hears them droning on

They turn around to smile but…

She feels like something’s wrong

Then sudden shouts explosions

Thick gunfire punches through

When the fury dies and smoke clears

There’s countless lying still

On a bright and sunlit morning

She draws her final breath

Lets go of a note in silence

And this is all it said:

Why can’t we

Do anything

Why can’t we

Hear their screams

Only a few days later

Their memories fade away

Forgotten ‘til the next time

Like the crumpled note that read:

Why can’t we

End a fucking thing

Why can’t we

Listen to the screams

Why can’t we

(Except count the dead)

End a fucking thing

(Look the other way instead)

Why can’t we

(Except count the dead)

Whispers to a scream

(Look the other way instead)

Oh we can count the dead

Look the other way instead

Oh we can count the dead

And look the other way instead
