about

A Hewer/Hewer production.

We are confident that if Alice Cooper were to cover this track, his delivery of this message against school violence would be epic. The horrific school shootings and violence in our society must stop!

The photo is our Alma Mater, Walkerville Collegiate High School in Windsor Ontario, where Alice Cooper played on March 13, 1970 for $2.50 per ticket.

lyrics

Children waitin' at the bus stop
It's just another day
Talking and laughin'by the lockers
There's a big dance on Saturday

Just then all hell breaks loose
Little Jonny's lying on the floor
Mom & Dad are watching TV
They won't see him anymore

Cameras bright lights everywhere
The circus is in town
Count the cars & the flowers
Count your blessings now

What a shame
Who's to blame
It must those damn video games

Suddenly hell breaks loose
Romper room's a battle zone
Little Mary says her last prayer
We won't see her anymore

(Children siging Jesus Loves Me)
