Because
World is on fire, now sure as sin
“Because of who moved in”
They blame the dead,
Their mothers and the wind
Because it’s never them
Because now everybody
Has all of the answers
Written out on their lawn
Because it helps to have a reason
When the feelings gone
Schools out early and we all know why
“Because it just happens”
They blame the kids
For running for their lives
Because they could have lived
Because now everybody
Has all of the answers
There at their fingertips
Because they’ll need to give a reason
When they dust for prints
Because it helps to have a reason
When the feelings gone
The fence is leaning into the street
Because it wants to lean
Signs been swallowed up by the weeds
Because it proves something
Because now everybody
Has all of the answers
Ready for when they’re wrong
