I can't honestly say I'm making it tonight
But I'll give you all that I got, I'll give you everything despite
Cos' I'm not the one who's pleading for my boy to come to life
Reality has taken me on this October night
Cos' there's a man on the side of the road a sobbing shadow with a hunch
The people gather round' him for a photo-op
They pulled the curtain back and then a road to ruin settled in
Those eyes, in those eyes
He said let's lets all stand and pray and play follow the f*cking leader and escape
This grim reality see
Just follow what I'm teaching and you'll see that true salvation
Lies today, in a blood streak, in a blood streak on the street
Well who knows what the kid could have been we're paying you so get up there and play
To all the kids deceived, guess there ain't' no grieving needed
On this Halloween, anywhere but here I'd rather be
You've been so welcoming to me
But I don't agree, with anything I see
Cos' the fathers falling to his knees as you rejoice in harmony
Man anywhere but here I'd rather be
The jackals were all there in the warm October air before
They put the chalk line down on the cement
When the church bells started tolling they said keep those cameras rolling
We'll be sure to get this on the news at ten
Crowd that gathered seemed undaunted, said it must be what god wanted
But that kid was eight years old and now he's gone
And if you truly believe that it was his time to leave
I guess I'll be the one to tell you that you're wrong
