Can't be happening to you
C
Can't be happening to me
It's hard not to cry
It's hard to believe
So much heartache and pain
So much reason to grieve
With the wonders of science
All the knowledge we've stored
Magic cocktails for lives
People just can't afford
Say it's not true
You can say it's not right
It's hard to believe
The size of the crime
Say it's not true
You can say it's not real
Could be happening to you
Could be happening to me
