Lower The Flag - Bon Jovi (Elephant)

Artist: Bon Jovi Album: 2020 (2020) Lyrics: (Jon Bon Jovi) Word just came from upstate Joe Lower the flag again This time it’s Dayton, Southwest Ohio Last night El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead Soon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers Soon there’ll be protests in the street And the media from out of town Will chew it up and spit it out Then move on to the next one Before we even grieve Yeah, they’ll move on to the next one Before we even grieve Some say, “We start to die on the day that we’re born“ But no one wants to live life on their knees Maybe we start to die on the day that we’re born But we deserve to live life in between A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie’s name And promises he’ll see her once again Won’t see her children grow Won’t see their love grow old Last night their dream became a nightmare And their nightmare has no end
