Senseless

Who knows what makes a boy tick
Who knows when the switch will flick
In a brain in pain that wants to maim
Waiting to kill kill kill

Is this in us all, simply human nature
Is this cruelty passed on in hatred we nurture
A twisted mind unkind is what you find
Waiting to kill kill kill

Why is it easy for them to take more than one life
Why is it easy because they carry guns looking for strife
A boy at school taunted a fool kids are so cruel
Wanting to kill kill kill for the thrill
