Everybody’s got one and I don’t know why
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

There’s fear in the country and the love is dry
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

Papa won’t you tell me is it true what they say?
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
They’re takin’ out weapons on election day
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

These kids in the schoolyard been pushin’ me round
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
If they keep on coming I'm gonna lay ’em down
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

These games I been playin’ feel like the real thing
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
When I get my own the whole world’s gonna see
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

There’s smoke in the sky, it’s too thick to be me
But there’s blood on the streets everyday
There’s lead in the water and cuts on my hands
But there’s a fire in the backroom
There’s a fire in the backroom

My baby sister’s got slug in her head
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
She found my pistol and now she’s dead
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

Oh mama oh mama, tell me what have I done?
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
I'm in a crowd of people and I shot all of my guns
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

Nobody told me there’s no glory in dying
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
I shot these strangers and now I get mine
Oh who will be next?
Oh my, who will be next?

Who will be next?
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
Who will be next?

Who will be next?
Who will be next?
Who will be next?
