He was just one more dead on a long long list of names   Fifteen-year-old Ronald Timbers was buried under dirt and blame   A mother needing help instead a trigger-happy system took aim   Took the life of her child and gave no answers   To the questions of force used with lethal intention   Could their cruel intervention   Be justified to the family or the further community?      In Philadelphia there's a mural of a fallen cop   It's making the news some local youth got their hands on some cans   Let loose with the spray paint now they got to be stopped   It's true the violent loss of a life is always such tragedy   But the city don't honor those that it's killing   So forgive our frustrations at these gross violations   Their rationalization of killing doesn't wash with me it's true   We bury our dead now      At the funerals the heads bow   Across the land a war ensues   It's on the streets   No justice or peace   We die on our knees   It's a critical need we have for restraint   And those guns aren't their right so take away their weapons      He was just one more dead on a long long list of names
