Story Behind the Song
Written during the confluence of the Kosovo bombings and the bloodshed at Columbine High School.
Lyrics
It's a good day to die
Children put your Algebra aside
It's a good day to bomb
But you must choose the side you're on
It's a long way to go,
To the crimson skies of Kosovo
It's a hard line to take,
To paint your world in shades of hate
Hurry, bombs are falling,
Uncle Sam is calling (wait)
Children barely breathing,
Demons inside breeding (hate)
How did we get here--
Where do we go, now that we know
Something is rotten in Denmark
(Are you afraid, of the dark?)
Tell me, where'd you get the gun--
From your Daddy's second cousin?
And, do you believe in good,
In any given neighborhood?
Say the words I want to hear--
The secret three we all know--
But then you go there, alone in the dark
Please don't go there, alone...
