Quiet cul de sac
Gated front and back
So nothing could go wrong
Nothing could go wrong
Violent attack
Walls begin to crack
It was a nice neighborhood
White neighborhood
Isolated
It was the shot heard round the burbs
Shattering all sense of our security
It was the shot heard round the burbs
Its only supposed to happen on the city streets
Never in my own backyard
Arm the everyman
They'll take into their hands
So nothing can go wrong
Nothing can go wrong
Say your prayers and lock your doors
Cops will fight your holy wars
Make your block pure
It was the shot heard round the burbs
Shattering all sense of our security
It was the shot heard round the burbs
Its only supposed to happen on the city streets
Never in my own backyard
All exposed with our blinders off
It's enough we need to cover up
Hear the noise a reminder of
What we got and what we want
All exposed with our blinders off
It's enough we need to cover up
Stolen ignorance luxurious indifference
We'll be safe again great again isolated
It was the shot heard round the burbs
Shattering all sense of our security
It was the shot heard round the burbs
Its only supposed to happen on the city streets
Never in my own backyard
