"What's Black Versus Blue?"

Man down,
Man dead,
Man shot,
Officer said.

Officer down,
Officer dead,
All this violence--
Hurts my head.

Soldier down,
Soldier dead,
Soldier shot,
Paper said.

All our hearts,
Bleed the same.
Imagine if--
No one came.

Man down,
Man dead,
Man shot,
Officer said.

Officer down,
Officer dead,
All this violence--
Hurts my head.

Soldier down,
Soldier dead,
Soldier shot,
Paper said.

All our hearts,
Bleed the same.
All these deaths--
Now who's to blame?

Man down,
Man dead,
Man shot,
Officer said.

Officer down,
Officer dead,
All this violence--
Hurts my head.

Soldier down,
Soldier dead,
Soldier shot,
Paper said.

It doesn't matter
If the person is black or wears blue--
Taking a life
Just isn't up to you.

Man down,
Man dead,
Man shot,
Officer said.

Officer down,
Officer dead,
All this violence--
Hurts my head.

Soldier down,
Soldier dead,
Soldier shot,
Paper said.

A life is a life--
No matter what you do.
Do unto others--
As you want done to you.

Man down,
Man dead,
Man shot,
Officer said.

Officer down,
Officer dead,
All this violence--
Hurts my head.

Soldier down,
Soldier dead,
Soldier shot,
Paper said.

All of our hearts--
Should be left beating.
Life's hard enough,
And seems defeating.

Man down,
Man dead,
Man shot,
Officer said.

Officer down,
Officer dead,
All this violence--
Hurts my head.

Soldier down,
Soldier dead,
Soldier shot,
Paper said.
