lyrics

Oh Yeah

Stars and stripes and girlfriends

She just slapped her boyfriend hard

So hard

You should have called an old friend

Instead you snapped with An open hart

You snapped real hard

Now it's as bad as it was before

And maybe

a little bit more

But you don't have to

If you don't want to, no

You don't have to

If you don't want to

It's as bad as it was before

And maybe

A little bit more

He said it was all a blur

Turns out he went and shot her head

In three days she'll be dead

He drove down to the station

In this divided nation, scarred

Real hard

Now it's as bad as it was before

And maybe

A little bit more

(Repeat Chorus)
But you don't have to

If you don't want to, no

You don't have to

If you don't want to

Oh You don't but you do

Oh yeah

But you won't make it through

It's the same thing you always do

A change takes dedication

He took his medication and died

Another suicide

Now he's as dead as he was before

And maybe

a little bit more

Oh Yeah

But you don't have to

If you don't want to, no

You don't have to

If you don't want to

It's as bad as it was before

So make it better than it was before

And maybe

A little bit more
