My town was closed



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
