Awards For Bells Not Bullets
a box in the mail
for thirteen letters to be opened with the instructions of the thirteen bells locations
heros protecting the bells
of boxes to be opened
the whole world playing the same game by different rules
awards for ringing a bell
the delivery opf a message instead of the act of cruelty
send the box with a stamp
a card a letter
an envelope
thirteen bells to ring
two teams
to ring the bells to open and close them
objects to crave
thirteen bells to ring
but why
what of the surprise holiday
what for
awards for bells not bullets
distract ourselves from the guns and bullets and bombs
there must be another way
there must be another way to go on
there must be a way to stand tall
peacefully hold our heads high and try again
work towards this
work towards this
the message to be sent
the lost soul
leaving never to return home
until he hears it
when will he come home
\one sound to ease his poain
one word to buy the sound
one way for it to come around
round and round the golden age
awards for bells not bulletsd the under ground the letters
are all the rage
there is something i cant say about the rules that just changed today
she went to get a bell, i gotta letter to write
something to say with style
no matter the truth or the dare
never mention it, never mention it,
keeps her baby behind a lock and key
