On to the next, on to the next

Society's eyes shift right on to the next

Tragedies come one after another

Like a little boy dragging on his smaller brother

On to the next, on to the next

Our eyes shift right on to the next

Forget the last shooting, move on to the new

Forget the lives lost and the bullets that flew

On to the next, on to the next

America's eyes shift right on to the next

So commonplace, becoming commonplace

Our schools and churches are no longer safe

On to the next, on to the next

The news's eye shifts right on to the next

Forget the lives lost, forget that great wrong

On to the next, the cameras move on
