My town was closed, they shut it down
It happened in my own home town
It should have been a normal day
But someone blew the day away
My town was closed, they closed the town
It took a lot to close it down
It took a madman, evil clown
A shooter in his dressing gown
It took a dozen shots or more
It took a bullet riddled door
and bodies lying in the street
and sirens wailing to the beat
My town was closed, the roads were blocked
The shops and houses shuttered up
My town was closed for just one day
When a gunman blew our lives away
