Written after a young man was shot and killed across the street from my house. The next day there was no news of it. I called the police department and there was no record of it. I couldn't help but think that if this young man's skin had been a different color, his death would have made the news-- let alone a police report. Dedicating this one to Tamir Rice and the countless others whose names are unknown, whose stories are untold and whose lives were taken too soon.

LYRICS
Do I have to leave now
I don't know where I'll run to
One man fell down, he is nowhere around
Two men fell down, they are nowhere to be found
Two women fell down, someone tell me where they are now
That poor boy, how he laid on the ground
With guns, they shot him down
I enjoyed your party
Stood beneath the palm tree
One man fell down, he is nowhere around
Two men fell down, they are nowhere to be found
Two women fell down, someone tell me where they are now
That poor boy, how he laid on the ground
With guns, they shot him down
With guns, with guns, with guns, they shot him
And he lay, and he lay, and he lay down
