Away from the danger
To a little town instead
A story does unfold there
Where my child could be dead
A note sent home officially from school
About a little problem that rated the 6 o'clock news
A child made a bomb and brought it to school
To sell it to someone else coz that's what they do when they're cool
The little kid sat by him in the first two periods of class
He told another kid who thought it was a joke and just laughed
But then lock down came in the middle of the day
Coz the principle didn't think it was OK
The police and the bomb squad came
And the device was exploded in the quarry they say
Just another day in the life of a small town
Where terror now replaces safe in my head
