Letra de 'Shot Down' de Midwest Skies

Mom walks in at half past ten,
Sighs as she locks the door,
She tells me dad's been drinking again,
So tonight, she'll sleep on my floor,
I can't understand why he's so mad,
Since the big three shot us down,
But since than our suburban dream's,
Been burning to the ground,
To the ground (whoa yeah, to the ground)

Chorus
Waiting around for someone else to come and save us
Shot down, we've been through too much
Tear us up again
The American dream ain't too much
It's just out of reach
We don't need a miracle, just someone who will teach
Us to live

Promise all and given none,
Is all that we have to live,
Still hoping that the day will come,
But nothing seems to give,
The man on the TV says,
That change is coming soon,
But change will not be worth a damn,
When dad drops the bomb this afternoon,

Chorus
Breakdown

Mom walked out at two o' five,
She left us wondering why,
We're losing all will to survive,
But daddy won't let us see him cry,
And as I sit and wonder how,
We got to where we are,
I scream oh god please take me now,
This world has gone too far (gone too far)
