Lyrics

Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets

I'm going old school
So you can hear what I say
No auto-tune filter to get in your way
I'm gonna speak clearly, (understand what I say?)
It's our time now
(Already tried it your way)
Ronnie D. has to have his say
Banning and burning through books Oy Vey
He's got Men in Black that will take you away
The sunshine States looking dark today
I saw a protest, just the other day
Young blood, with a message to say
He carried a sign to simply convey
Books not bullets nothing more to say

Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets

Congress, did you come to play
We need good legislation not the NRA
Congress, We can here what you say
Teachers need bullets, that'll save the day
More guns, more bullets, that's what you say
I think Congress needs a lesson
From NWA
Teachers, we can here what you say
You don't need bullets got enough on your plates
Teachers have problems each and every day
Send books not bullets, and a raise in pay
Send books not bullets
To every school
Send books not bullets
You damn fools

Send books not bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets

Goooooooooooood morning, Warriors!
Principal Good Man here with
our daily reminder:
In an active shooter situation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends the following:
Run
If possible, attempt to evacuate the premises
Hide
If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the active shooter is less likely to find you
Fight
As a last resort, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the active shooter

Wait a minute, WHAT (hang on a second)
So instead of reasonable legislation,
we're teaching our children to dodge bullets

Send books not bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets
Send Books Not Bullets

Books not bullets
No need for alarm
Books not bullets
It'll do no harm
Books not bullets
Why you want us dead
Books not bullets
Aimed at our heads
Books not bullets
It's common sense
Books not bullets
How can you be so dense
Books not bullets
Have you no shame
Books not bullets
It's not a damn game

I'm afraid of Americans, I heard it on the radio
I'm afraid of Americans, Just checking out a weekend show

Books not bullets
School is ground zero
Books not bullets
Just lookin for a hero
We should deal a death blow
By putting guns on death row
And sending Books not bullets
