The last one in the classroom door
Pink backpack by her feet on the floor
Picked up a crayon drew a smile on the sun
That's when she saw the kid with the gun
Under her desk pretending she was dead
Nothing you can do when pink turns to red
When pink turns to red
Nowhere to run
Pink turns to red
Life's over and done
Tears will flow
Prayers will be said
But it's too late
When pink turns to red
Pretty cowgirl in a party dress
Night turned into wild, wild west
Open season from a window above
Shootin' for no reason killing love
Run for your lives, as panic spread
Pink carnation just turned to red
When pink turns to red
There's nowhere to run
Pink turns to red
Life's over and done
Tears will flow
Prayers will be said
It's too late
Pink turns to red
Said it never happened, it was fake
How much more can we all take?
Lies like bullets straight to the heart
Killing souls, ripping them apart
Everybody cryin' for help
Gun got turned back on ourselves
When pink turns to red
There's nowhere to run
Pink turns to red
Life's over and done
Tears will flow
Prayers will be said
It's too late
Pink turns to red
There's nowhere to run
Pink turns to red
Life's over and done
Tears will flow
Prayers will be said
It's way too late
Pink turns to red
Pink turns to red
Pink turns to red
Nowhere to run
Pink turns to red
Pink backpack by her feet on the floor
Picked up a crayon drew a smile on the sun
That's when she saw the kid with the gun

When pink turns to red

Pink turns to red
Life's over and done
Tears will flow

Album: Done Come Too Far
Pink Turns To Red addresses school shootings and gun licence, and is another 4 to the floor blues-rock juggernaut, howling twin guitars jousting with her vocal urgency
At The Barrier
The song touches instances surrounding mass shootings, including the Las Vegas strip massacre that left 58 people dead, and conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who have argued that many mass shootings were "false flag" operations carried out by crisis actors.
Mom's blues album with a song about mass shootings is nominated for a Grammy
